After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

"Oh, don't worry about that." The emperor rebuffed Zhou Xun carelessly, with a very impatient look on his face, "It's the atmosphere's business, not the gods' business, to deal with the rain. The Yanguan is full of food all day and has nothing to do, picking up trivial things to talk to me like a nurse Rong. At worst, I can write an entire article of "Dragon King is awesome, the Dragon King is back" and burn it on the table."

The emperor had already talked about this, Zhou Xun smiled helplessly, and said, "You can do whatever you want."

The emperor made a fuss in the side hall, and finally went back.Zhou Xun lay down with his clothes on and stared at the sky, not falling asleep for a long time.

It is undeniable that he made that sentence not because he wanted to share the emperor's worries, but because he heard the word "Zhou Cai".When he heard the word "Zhou Cai", he had the thought of writing an article by himself to compete with him.

Yet what he felt when the emperor rejected him was not loss.On the contrary, after a very brief moment of embarrassment, he felt more fortunate and relieved.

This kind of selfishness was not exploited, and the emperor didn't realize it, but it would make Zhou Xun feel ashamed.The emperor treated him with sincerity, and he should also reciprocate with sincerity.

and……

What he said just now was just out of a momentary excitement. If we really want to get to the bottom of it, Zhou Xun doesn't know whether his literary talent can surpass Zhou Cai.

After all, Zhou Cai has three full years more experience than him.But he was stolen by that gloomy past for three full years.

Zhou Cai stood by the emperor's side and wrote these documents for the emperor.And he... was just an accident.

Zhou Xun thought, he was still a little unconfident after all.

On the second day in the bookstore, Zhou Xun was still thinking about it when he was sitting at the desk writing the strategy proposed by Old Man Shen.When he came back to his senses, old man Shen had already pulled out the policy theory from under his hand, read it from the beginning to the end, and said to Zhou Xun in shock: "It's a big loss, you're absent-minded. If you don't want to write, just go to the store."

Zhou Xun was ashamed.He sat down at the counter and folded the paper.Just as he was casually stuffing it into a book he was reading, there was a sound of wind chimes at the door.

"Master Zhou!"

Yan Jia originally came to return the book.It stands to reason that now that these things have happened in the Yan Mansion, he was in a bad mood recently.However, when he saw Zhou Xun sitting in front of the counter, his mood improved for no reason, and even his tone became lighter.

Zhou Xun raised his head and saw Yan Jia, and the young man also looked at him with high spirits.Zhou Xun took the book together with Yan Jia's thanks, and casually asked him about his sister's current situation.

Speaking of her sister, Yan Jia's complexion became gloomy.However, he and Zhou Xun, an outsider, couldn't say anything about family affairs, and he couldn't talk about what his father did as a son, so he could only shake his head.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhou Xun smiled indifferently and said, "Recently, some new collections of poetry have entered the store. You can go and choose if you want any of them, and show them to your sister."

After Yan Jia left, Zhou Xun sat at the counter until Shen Shi.When he was about to leave, he remembered the theory that old man Shen had criticized, and tried to look through the books piled up beside the counter, but couldn't find it.

...Could it be accidentally taken away by someone?

That's right, people come and go here, and it's not uncommon for someone to accidentally take an extra book when checking out.but……

"Big miss, absent-minded!"

Zhou Xun: ...

For some reason, thinking that this policy theory might be seen by others, he had a feeling that he was about to be publicly executed by someone unknown.

But Zhou Xun's specialty is that as long as it is something he didn't see under his nose, he can pretend that it doesn't exist.Compared with this policy theory that does not know where it will end up, what he cares more about now is the emperor's affairs.

Today, the Donghua Gate was being repaired, so Zhou Xun entered the palace in another place.But he saw many ministers coming out of the courtyard in front of him.

Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly walked over to the Military Aircraft Department.Presumably the emperor was discussing matters with the ministers in the military aircraft office today.Zhou Xun turned around and planned to take a detour, but a slightly familiar voice came from behind: "Is that Mr. Zhou standing there?"

Zhou Xun turned his head and saw that the person who was talking to him was Prime Minister Lu.Seeing him turn his head back, Lu Cheng said to the people around him, and walked towards him: "I haven't seen Mr. Zhou for a long time, the weather is not bad today, why don't we take a walk in the palace and have a chat?"

Zhou Xun stood still. He stared at Prime Minister Lu for a while, then glanced at the middle-aged man in the official uniform of the Ministry of Rites who had spoken to him just now, and finally nodded and said hello.

Cheng Lu went to the imperial garden with the young man.Yan Shangshu said to another official beside him: "Do you know who that young man is? How does Prime Minister Lu look like he has some friendship with him?"

The official was also staring at Zhou Xun in a daze, but he was relieved when asked by Yan Shangshu: "It's really strange, this young man's appearance and temperament are extremely rare in Beijing. Even if the son of the Marquis of Chengde stands beside him, he may not be inferior to him. But which young man is this? If I have seen him, I will never have any impression of him."

He thought for a while, then patted his head and said, "Maybe he came to Beijing from some other state capital in recent days."

"The young man is indeed born very well. Since Prime Minister Lu is familiar with him, he must be a talent." Yan Shangshu nodded. He was just asking about it casually, and didn't care much about it.

The official said again: "Your Excellency Yan really speaks out of righteousness. Now in this capital, you are the only one who dares to stand up for the Zhou family's affairs."

"That's all the family tradition." Yan Shangshu shook his head and snorted coldly, "People don't stand up without trust, and my Yan family is definitely not the kind of villain who tramples on what is high and praises what is low! What's more, the Zhou family didn't do anything wrong. The thing is, the emperor put the Zhou family in dire straits for his own selfishness, there must be a villain behind him. It's just a pity that the villain can't be pulled out of the gutter to set the record straight!"

Yan Shangshu said so, but he really thought so in his heart.He returned to Yan's mansion from the palace in a carriage.When the servants working in the mansion saw him, they all stiffened and were too frightened to say a word.

Yan Shangshu just glanced at this, he has long been used to the awe of the people in the mansion, and he is very proud of the strict discipline of the Yan mansion which is different from the outside.But now he didn't have any appreciation for it, he just hurried to the backyard.

When he saw the small courtyard where his daughter lived, Yan Shangshu asked the trembling woman in charge, "How is Miss today?"

The housekeeper said: "Miss, miss, she..."

"Ok?"

Housekeeper: "Alive."

Yan Shangshu: ...

He looked at the small courtyard for a long time, finally sighed annoyedly, and went to the other side.

It is said that children are debt-collecting ghosts, and Yan Shangshu feels that this is really true.

His daughter asked for this marriage with Zhou Cai by herself, but in the end she cried and shouted not to marry, and asked her, but she couldn't find out why.

In Yan Shangshu's heart, what's wrong with Zhou Cai?Zhou Cai is talented, clean and self-disciplined, and treats others with gentleness and courtesy.Regardless of family status, from the perspective of appearance and talent, he still thinks that his daughter has been promoted!

Even though the Zhou family was suddenly rejected by the emperor recently, Yan Shangshu always felt that it was because of villains who slandered behind his back.Not only him, but also many speech officials and civil officials who had good relations with Zhou Cai, the fifth prince and others in the court also thought so.

I only hate that the emperor is now shutting his ears and listening to his own way, so that that unknown villain with no virtue and talent can crowd out his virtuous ministers... Yan Shangshu thought viciously, if he was allowed to find out this villain, he would sooner or later kill him. Take off the glib and flamboyant surface, and let the emperor see clearly the truth behind his failure!

Unknowingly, he walked to his son's study again.Seeing that the study was empty, Yan Shangshu became even more angry.

His son was obviously his own, but his talent and learning didn't even reach half of his own.It's fine if the stupid bird doesn't know how to fly first, but now it's less than a year away from Chunwei, and he doesn't stay in the study all day, but runs out to play and socialize with those dubious people!

Yan Shangshu really wronged Yan Jia.Yan Jia has been studying this afternoon except for the trip to the bookstore, but just went to the hut.But things are always like this—when children are working hard, their parents are often invisible, and when the children go out once in a while, they are reflected in the eyes of their parents and become criminal evidence.

——If the emperor were here, he would have to say "Murphy's law... the law of Mozi and Han Feizi".

In fact, Yan Shangshu is busy with his daily affairs, and he has not personally tutored his son's homework for several years, and if he did, it was only verbal.But parents are always like this. They always feel that although they have never checked their children's homework, they have only uttered a few words of scolding, which is already considered responsible. All his pains.

Yan Shangshu walked towards his son's desk with great anger.He originally wanted to sit here and wait for Yan Jia to come back to teach him a lesson, but his eyes were involuntarily attracted by a theory on the table.

This is what Yan Jia saw when he came back in a panic.He originally thought that he would be scolded by his father, but Yan Shangshu, the clinker, just held a piece of paper and looked at him with a kindness that was rarely seen in years.

Yan Jia thought he was hallucinating.

He was stuttering, when Yan Shangshu said: "You have made great progress recently."

Yan Jia was shocked.

Yan Shangshu's wording has always been cautious, especially for his own children, the praise is very limited.He, he now says the word "progress"—

That was the first time in the world!

Yan Jia was almost dazzled by the rare happiness, and he even began to wonder whether his father was crazy, or himself, or both.Yan Shangshu continued: "Although the wording is not very careful, the conception and literary talent are first-class, and the opinions are also penetrating. You have learned calligraphy in recent years? The calligraphy is also very meaningful. As the saying goes, the calligraphy is like a person, and it is worthy of Yan Shangshu. You have a strong family style, and you have a gentleman's style. You have grown a lot now."

Yan Jia: ...

He looked at the letter paper and swallowed hard.Seeing that Yan Shangshu wanted to say more, and praised him greatly, Yan Jia could only stammer: "This... I didn't write this..."

"Who wrote that?" Yan Shangshu was startled and embarrassed when he heard that.

Yan Jia knew that Yan Shangshu disliked his dealings with those dubious people outside, but the matter had come to this point, so he could only stutter and explain the matter, emphasizing Zhou Xun's kindness in finding his sister's book for him.Yan Shangshu frowned when he heard the words, just when Yan Jia thought he was going to blame himself again, he heard his father say: "It sounds like this person is poor and lives by working for a living, but his writing style is strong, this person is definitely not Chi. Zhongwu."

Yan Jia was overjoyed. For some reason, Zhou Xun's recognition made him even happier than himself being recognized.Yan Shangshu continued: "He reminds my father of his past self, and he feels a bit forgetful about his confidant. You can keep in touch with him."

Just as Yan Jia was about to speak, Yan Shangshu said again: "However, don't associate with those insidious villains! Those insidious villains have a sweet mouth and a sword, but they have a beautiful skin. Do you know why your brother-in-law has fallen to this point now? It is those insidious villains! As the saying goes, you know people, you know your face, you don’t know your heart, and if your brother-in-law is in trouble, you can’t beat him up like outsiders!”

"Can……"

But my sister seems to be with Zhou Cai, it's not that simple...

"It's nothing but, there is already a spokesperson speaking for your brother-in-law. Although we are a family, we can't hurt your brother-in-law, the pillar of the world, because of a younger brother."

Although Yan Shangshu said so, he couldn't help thinking in his heart, how could someone like Zhou Cai have a younger brother who beat and hurt others?

They all say family style and family style, this is the same family, why is it so different?

Yan Shangshu didn't know that there was already a thorn in his heart.However, he also heard Zhou Cai vaguely say that his current situation is related to his other younger brother, and that younger brother seems to be the villain who assassinated him.

If his younger brother came to Yan's house, he would definitely order someone to beat him out.

"As for your good friend," Yan Shangshu said to Yan Jia when he left, "you can invite him to your house as a guest. It is always right to make good friends with such a person and get close to Zhu Zhechi."

Zhou Xun, who was walking on the palace road now, didn't know that he was so poor in Yan Shangshu's eyes, like a confidant who had forgotten his age, and secondly, he didn't know that he was going to be invited in and beaten out again.

He just heard Lu Cheng say to him: "Young master Zhou is a dragon and phoenix among people, have you ever thought about finding a good position and serving the country?"

Zhou Xun was taken aback for a moment, and then heard Prime Minister Lu say: "This old man has an opportunity to thank Meng Guan. In Cangzhou, although it is a little far away from the capital, but fortunately, you don't need any fame. At your age, you can do a few jobs in the past." After a few years, you may be able to enter Beijing after accumulating achievements, which can be regarded as a training..."

Prime Minister Lu's every word seemed to be for him.If someone else is here, you might feel that this is a pie in the sky, and you will be knocked out.

But Zhou Xun quickly felt the alienation under Prime Minister Lu's seemingly polite and considerate appearance.

Zhou Xun then said: "This is a good opportunity, but now I originally planned to obtain fame first in Beijing."

"Isn't the purpose of obtaining fame and fame also to be an official? Tens of thousands of exams are risky." Prime Minister Lu looked at him, seeming to mean, "It's all for official career, so why bother to take the burden for nothing? What about the risk?"

Zhou Xun heard the hidden meaning in his words.

Prime Minister Lu once praised him, but now his attitude has changed drastically.Zhou Xun is not a blunt person either.

But he is by no means a tolerant person.

——Especially, he felt Lu Cheng's hints and doubts towards him.

Zhou Xun smiled lightly and said, "The prime minister is thinking about the future of the grassroots, and the grassroots are very grateful, but... the future is a supplementary matter, so let me leave the capital, right?"

Prime Minister Lu didn't expect Zhou Xun to tell the truth directly.He complained in his heart that young people are young and vigorous, and heard Zhou Xun say: "The prime minister doesn't have to be so devious, and the emperor's idea is also what the emperor thinks—it's not because of me."

Prime Minister Lu paused, and said, "I found out something about you and the Zhou family."

Zhou Xun stopped.

"You are Zhou Cai's younger brother—not a descendant, but a concubine. Therefore, there are some conflicts and misunderstandings with the Zhou family. The Zhou family entered Beijing, but you were kicked out by the Zhou family and ignored you. Later, because By chance, you and the emperor who went on tour in micro clothes had the grace of saving your life. The emperor thanked you, but you were seriously injured, so the emperor took you into the palace to recuperate. Now you are still living in the palace before your injury has fully recovered. You have passed the exam. The dream of fame and fame, the emperor took pity on you for your love of talents, so he let you study in the palace."

Only then did Zhou Xun know that after the emperor's cover-up, his current life experience in front of outsiders has become like this.

Finally cleared the ties with the Prince's Mansion, Zhou Xun felt a little relieved, thinking of the emperor doing these things for him, he felt a little warm.

He thought of the article on offering sacrifices to heaven, and then thought of those officials, and suddenly understood what he should do.

What should he do for the emperor.

"Your majesty is indeed full of love for talents. You are indeed talented in the previous policy on Xizhou, but—" Prime Minister Lu looked at him and said slowly, "Shortcuts, it's not so good let's go."

"what did you say?"

"I know you are a concubine's son." Prime Minister Lu said, "Normally people with a background like yours do value fame and fortune more than anything else. It's normal to have some selfishness—"

The author has something to say: Thank you for your replies! !I'm poor at the end of the month, and I will give red envelopes to the comments of Chapter 84 next month (remember)

Prime Minister Lu knew that Zhou Cai was from the Zhou family, but he didn't know that it was the family that Lin Yan married into, so he didn't know that Zhou Xun was Lin Yan's son.He thought Lin Yan and the Zhou family were still in Jiangzhou.

and so--

(Now)

Prime Minister Lu: You are just a concubine.It is normal to pay attention to fame and wealth, and the vision is limited.

(later)

Prime Minister Lu: (sizzling in hzc)

Alright, is the rhythm better recently? Is today a long day?
