Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

Old score and new settlement

Yan Xi couldn't speak a complete sentence after several times in a row.

Lin Rongchen glanced at her, and said to himself: "The bottom of the seal is engraved with 'The sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold'. There is a character 'Chen' inscribed on the side." He handed the seal letter to Yan Xi.

Sure enough, although the characters are extremely small, they can be recognized.Yan Xi thought at the time that since this thing was worthless, it must be an extremely important thing that he carried with him before he lost his memory.In addition, he had his mother's relics on him, so he took it for granted that the seal was left by his father, and he even once thought that "Chen" was his father's name.Now that it's not my father's relic, I feel very complicated!

His focus was clearly wrong.

With a sound of "click", Lin Rongchen's son fell very heavily, "Now it seems that your examination for the champion was also a mistake, not an agreement with me."

Yan Xi smiled dryly, "It's also the same goal by different routes."

Lin Rongchen didn't refute, but instead glanced at Yan Xi, "I just don't know what Zhuangyuan Lang owes me, how do I plan to repay it double?"

"This..." Yan Xi scratched his head, came to collect debts so soon? "The salary of a humble official is not much..."

"Want to increase your salary?" Lin Rongchen raised his tone.

"Don't dare." Yan Xi only cared about denying it, and was very annoyed that he made a mistake. "After staying for a year and a half, the minister will definitely..."

"A year and a half?" Lin Rongchen repeated Yan Xi's words, with a very relaxed expression, but it made Yan Xi feel a chilly wind blowing on the back of his neck.Sure enough, the rest of the words once again taught Yan Xi his ability to misinterpret people's wishes. "Even if it is double repayment, the silver would be worth eight hundred instead of one thousand. With Mr. Yan's current salary, he can save up to eight hundred in a year or so. This is implying that you can increase your income from other sources? What kind of increase method? Accepting bribes or embezzlement?"

"..." Yan Xi was at a loss for words.If he said to use his grandfather's money to pay off the debt, Lin Rongchen would definitely face another black face.After thinking hard for a long time, he couldn't come up with a perfect plan to prevent Lin Rongchen from misunderstanding.

On the contrary, Lin Rongchen had already thought of a countermeasure for him, "Why don't you promise me with your body..."

With a "pop", the chess piece in Yan Xi's hand fell on the chessboard.wrong again.

"One wrong step, one wrong step." The corners of Lin Rongchen's lips twitched slightly, and he ended the round in a desperate manner, "You lost." Seeing that Yan Xi was still in the fog for a long time, he jokingly said, "Master Yan Are you thinking of the four words 'promise with your body'?"

"..." Yan Xi laughed dryly, "I dare not."

Lin Rongchen said leisurely: "I haven't finished what I said just now. I promise to use my body."

Just talk, can you stop panting?The breath that Yan Xi mentioned was finally sent out safely, and he returned very readily, "I will be so heartbroken that I will die."

This breath was sent out, but the next breath was held in his chest again. "Your junior is three years old, and you are already eighteen this year. Have you ever considered getting married?"

"Yet...not yet." Isn't it talking about debt repayment?Why is it getting married again?In contrast, the phrase "promise with your body" just now is not so uneasy.

"I will pay attention to you." This sentence means that you don't need to find a wife, and I will marry you.

"..." Who would be willing to do such a thing as marriage, Yan Xi must resist a little for lifelong happiness, "Haha... Thank you for your love. It's just... I want to find someone who can spend my whole life together, so I don't dare to bother the emperor. .”

Lin Rongchen's expression was confused for a moment, those black eyes were like ice that gathers light to make fire, it was frighteningly bright, as if it could ignite people at any time.

Yan Xi paused, what did he say wrong again? "In case, I mean in case... I like a man. If the emperor grants a marriage, there will be an uproar in the court, so Yan Xi himself..." In order to extinguish the holy anger, he also went all out.

As expected, the sharp eyes disappeared.Lin Rongchen looked at Yan Xi for a while, then smiled slightly, "That's fine."

"..." Yan Xi was relieved, he was really more and more able to grasp Lin Rongchen's temper.

The rain showed no sign of decreasing, Yan Xi looked at the heavy rain with his cheeks on his hands, and sighed a long time.Just as he was thinking that there was still no place for lunch, he saw that Eunuch Zhou had passed on the meal. He swallowed, he should be able to have a meal, right?

Lin Rongchen sat down, patted the seat on the left, "Come here!"

Yan Xi trotted over, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Zhou poured a glass of wine for him, "Master Yan, drink some warm wine to warm up your body."

Yan Xi took a sip of each dish, and then served the wine, never wanting to slip his hand, the wine bottle fell to the ground with a bang and broke. "..." Yan Xi stared at the fragments on the ground, if he didn't want him to drink, he didn't have to choose to commit suicide!

"No problem, this old slave will go get another one." Eunuch Zhou turned and walked out.

"No need, go and rest." After sending Eunuch Zhou away, Lin Rongchen pushed his wine bottle to him, "Use mine."

Based on Yan Xi's experience, he cannot refute at this time.He took the wine glass obediently, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Today's dishes are very suitable for his appetite, it seems that after the first time, the imperial meal is getting better and better. "The royal chefs have improved in craftsmanship, the emperor should reward them."

Seeing his turmoil, Lin Rongchen had a three-point smile on his lips, took the wine bottle that Yan Xi had used, and sipped lightly.

After eating [-]% full, Yan Xi finally managed to look up, seeing the wine bottle in Lin Rongchen's hand, his face blushed suddenly, "Your Majesty, that cup..."

"No problem." Lin Rongchen didn't care much, put down his chopsticks, "If you're full, go lie down on the couch for a while, and when the rain stops, I'll ask Eunuch Zhou to call you. I still have a lot of official documents to deal with."

So, Yan Xi walked around the Anhe Hall a few times with his belly full, feeling sleepy, so he took a nap on the dragon couch.In a daze, I felt someone approaching, and my body warmed up. When I woke up, I saw that there was an extra quilt on my body.

The rain had stopped early, and it was getting dark.Lin Rongchen was still buried in the file, in the same posture as before he fell asleep, presumably he was too busy and forgot to call him.Yan Xi stretched and sat up.

Lin Rongchen seemed to have eyes on the top of his head, without raising his head, he said, "Bring me a cup of tea."

Yan Xi looked around, there was no one in the hall, and Eunuch Qian didn't know where he had gone, thinking that he was speaking to him, he got up and refilled his tea.

It's time to go back, I spent the whole day in the Hall of Peace.Before he opened his mouth, Lin Rongchen said, "What do you think of Chang Xiao?"

"Very good." Yan Xi replied casually, and after understanding Lin Rongchen's meaning, he asked, "The emperor wants to use him again?"

"No?"

"That's not true. I heard that he has always wanted to take the martial arts exam, defend his family and the country..."

"Oh?" Lin Rongchen really didn't know about this, "So, he is still a man with both civil and military skills?"

Yan Xi didn't say any biased words because of Chang Xiao's previous hostility towards him, and commented very pertinently: "Chang Xiao hates evil like an enemy, and has a righteous spirit. If he can make good use of it, he will definitely be another mainstay of Yunchu."

These words happened to be heard verbatim by Chang Xiao, who was brought by Eunuch Zhou to meet the saint.His face flushed, and he felt that compared with Yan Xi, it was really... He stood outside the hall and didn't know whether to improve or retreat.

Duke Zhou said: "Master Chang, go in!"

"Master Chang?" Yan Xi looked at Lin Rongchen in surprise when he saw Chang Xiao at the door.

Lin Rongchen returned a meaningful glance, turned to Chang Xiao and said, "I heard that Mr. Chang is both civil and military, but is it true?"

Chang Xiao performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and said humbly: "Don't dare. The minister's writing is not as good as Lord Yan, and Wu is also flamboyant and embroidered, which is not worth mentioning."

"Whether it is worthless, you will know if you try it!" Lin Rongchen turned around and threw the other sword on Lan Qi to him, and at the same time drew the sword, and said in a deep voice, "Sword out!"

When Yan Xi saw the sword, he couldn't help but take a few steps back. A few days ago, it was still around his neck.

After dozens of rounds, Lin Rongchen gradually lost the wind. Instead of being angry, he was extremely happy. He put away his sword, smiled, and praised repeatedly, "Good! Good! I didn't expect Master Chang to be so outstanding! From now on , I will send you to the Yulin Army, and you will be taught by Zhao Xun himself, don't let me down!"

As if seeing the sun through the clouds, Chang Xiao raised her brows with joy, kowtowed and thanked, "Thank you, the emperor, for your fulfillment, I will surely die after death."

This is the second time he has heard these words today. "I heard that the two lovers had some quarrels before, how about shaking hands and making peace in front of me?"

Chang Xiao said in embarrassment, "It's because I misunderstood Mr. Yan before."

Yan Xi waved his hands and smiled like a warm spring breeze, "It's okay, just clear up the misunderstanding. In the future, you and I will serve the emperor together, and we need to support each other."

"What Lord Yan said is true." Chang Xiao saluted again, "I will take my leave first!"

Yan Xi looked at his back, touched his nose, "The emperor specially called Chang Xiao to come, is it for the minister to reconcile with him?"

"No. You're thinking too much. How is it possible? I would be so idle?" Lin Rongchen said nothing.

Yan Xi was at a loss, "How did the emperor know that he was at odds with his minister?"

Lin Rongchen rolled his eyes at him, "Is there something about you in this palace that I don't know about?"

"..." Yan Xi was speechless. "Could it be that the emperor is sending someone to monitor the humble minister?"

"Surveillance?" Lin Rongchen raised his eyebrows to show displeasure.

"What I mean is...the emperor cares about me so much, I am really flattered and ashamed." Yan Xi felt that he had been feeling sorry for his conscience recently.In order to make Lin Rongchen happy, he could say almost anything.

Lin Rongchen laughed lowly, and said to him: "As long as you do what you should do well, I will naturally not restrict you too much. Also, stay away from Fu Zhuo and his henchmen. If you are really bored , you can play chess with Mr. He, of course, you can also come to meet Sheng."

It's okay to find He Shuyue, but forget it if you find Lin Rongchen!He will definitely be crushed all the time, and it is the kind of crush that is stepped on and rubbed back and forth a few times.Depressedly, he did not dare to have an opinion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." Yan Xi smiled like a flower.

"Well, it's getting late, let's go back!" Lin Rongchen was finally willing to let him go.

Yan Xi hid the joy of receiving an amnesty, and "reluctantly" left the Hall of Peace.The maidservant who had been hiding behind the pillar and staring at the gate of the Hall of Peace also quietly left.

The gate of Jiaolan Palace opened with a "squeak".The maidservant who had been spying outside the Anhe Hall just now walked in.

Concubine Yu put down the female handiworker and asked, "Did you find out anything?"

In this way, the maid told the jade concubine what she had seen.Concubine Yu stood up, frowned, and stared in the direction of the Hall of Peace in a daze.

"Your Majesty..." the maid called softly.

Yubi came back to her senses and confessed: "Keep watching, no matter what happens, you have to come and report to me."

"Yes!" The maid obeyed and withdrew.

"Caiyun, don't let Concubine Yi know about this matter. You also have to be smart, just watch from a distance, and don't let the emperor find out." Yubi was extremely worried, and asked again. "Inquire slowly, remember not to get close, don't want to be discovered!"

The author has something to say: What is a face?Yan Xi said he didn't know.
