Chapter 287 Slap in the face!
In the Ministry of Revenue, the sun gradually fell to the west, and the chill gradually came. Usually, at this time, the gate of the yamen had been closed, but today the gate of the yamen was still open, and all the officials and servants and yamen runners in the department were sitting upright, and no one dared to leave.
In the small garden behind, the adults were feeling like pins and needles, and even His Royal Highness Pu, who had been still in a state of movement, could not sit still. He stood up, held a folding fan in his hand, and slowly paced around the elm trees in the yard.
Lu Shanchang lowered his head, as if he was counting ants on the ground. For at least one hour, his posture had not changed.
After all, Gu Tianyang was left by Ruan Jingnian. For him, drinking such tea is not only extremely bitter, but also living like a year.
As time comes, the competition on the Qinhuai River has come to an end long ago, and the outcome must have been divided into two major issues. However, no one has reported the news so far, and it has to be said that this makes people feel uncomfortable.
Just as everyone was waiting the most anxiously, they suddenly heard a noise outside.
"What's going on? Come in quickly, don't be too slow!" Ruan Jingnian shouted to the outside, and then saw a few young servants running all the way to the garden.
When Ruan Jingnian saw these people, their clothes were very unfamiliar. Where are the people from?
"Old man!" One of them shouted, and it turned out to be for Gu Tianyang!
Gu Tianyang frowned and said, "Why are you here?"
"Report to the old master, we went to the Ministry of Justice, but we didn't see you. The head of the yamen said that you came to the Ministry of Revenue. We rushed over, but were stopped at the door and refused to let in. Is there just now that the adults said something, and only a few smaller people were allowed to come in outside!"
"Old man, something big happened in the Qinhuai River Courtesan Competition today. At this time, the entire Qinhuai River and Biyun Pavilion were in chaos!"
"What big thing happens? Can there be big things on the Qinhuai River? Is it worth your rush to come over? Judging from your prospects, what are the six ministries doing? Is it the place where you report the worldly customs and consciences?" Gu Tianyang suddenly said angrily.
His mood was really bad today. There was really a wave of evil fire in his heart and couldn't vent it. Now these servants have become his punching bag.
When the boys heard that the old man got angry, they were so scared that they were silent and did not dare to say anything! Ruan Jingnian came over and said, "Mr. Gu, you are not humane now, and it is not easy for servants. I have worked hard to come here to report the good news! Why did Lord. Gu scold them?"
"Brother, are you here to report the good news?"
"Report to the Lord, we...we... are here to report the good news!"
Ruan Jingnian raised his eyebrows and said, "So, the Duoduo girl in Biyun Pavilion has entered the third grade? With Duoduo girl's talent and beauty, she should be ranked not low. Is she the number one?"
"Report to the master, Miss Duoduo of Biyun Pavilion is not the first, and is ranked second!"
Ruan Jingnian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. This long laugh could be said to be extremely happy. Everything was as he expected. The prince was indeed amazing. Everything was under the control of the prince!
"Your Highness Pu, Miss Duoduo is ranked second. I want to congratulate you! I said that Miss Qianqian is excellent in talent and appearance, so she must be the first!" Ruan Jingnian said.
As soon as he said this, King Pu smiled faintly. Before he could speak, the Gu family's servant said, "Sir, Miss Qianqian from Mirage Pavilion is ranked third today!"
"ah?"
At this moment, everyone was stunned. Gu Tianyang, who had just gotten angry, couldn't help but say, "What? Third? How is this possible?"
In an instant, Gu Tianyang's eyes flashed in his eyes, and thoughts flashed in his mind for a moment, but all thoughts were extinguished in an instant, and his expression became severe again.
On the contrary to him, Ruan Jingnian almost jumped out of his mouth, and he blurted out: "Who is the first one? Haha, your prince is so polite, so polite?"
"Report to the Lord, the first one is temporarily captured by Miss Song Wanzhou, Tianshui Pavilion. Miss Song is unparalleled and unrivaled..."
"coax!"
There were many servants around. When they heard this news, the servants in the whole yard couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. The big guys were all stunned. Ruan Jingnian's neck seemed to be stuck by something, and she rolled her eyes, as if she couldn't get up in one breath. The servants around him hurried over to support him: "This... this is impossible!"
Gu Tianyang also said erectly: "Don't talk nonsense. There is no one in the Lu family today, and even Brother Zheng didn't go to the scene. How could it be?"
"Report to the old master, the matter is absolutely true! Mr. Lu Zheng did not go to the scene. He asked someone to tell me. If His Royal Highness had to compete with him, he would have to pass the level of talented man in Jiangnan first.
Jiangnan is not his talented Lu Zheng, Jiangnan has gathered many talented people. After the competition began, Miss Song’s popularity remained high from beginning to end, and it was higher than the other rounds, with the highest popularity…”
Gu Tianyang was speechless. With his wisdom, he naturally understood the key to the problem. Lu Zheng was the method. It was said that Lu Zheng was powerful, but he did not see any blood when he killed people. His scheming and cleverness concealed all the old foxes present.
Seeing Gu Tianyang's face looked good, the clever young man said again: "The Qinhuai River has been in trouble. Everyone says that in today's Courtesan Competition, Mr. Lu Zheng had already made Miss Song of Tianshui Pavilion first. If he was present in person, he would be more embarrassed to lose today's opponent."
"Some people also say that this time the prince's identity is too noble. Young Master Lu Zheng is concerned about the prince's face. Otherwise, the prince would be really unfair to continue to stay in Jiangnan today!"
How could a group of servants know the subtle thoughts of the big guys present? They were greatly impacted today and are still excited. Various rumors outside are everywhere, mostly praising Lu Zheng.
Everyone has a heroic complex in their hearts. Lu Zheng is a talented man from Jiangnan and has great talent, while Long Zhongyun is the prince of the North and has outstanding power.
Long Zhongyun, with his prominent power, brought a large group of so-called talented men and experts to openly challenge Lu Zheng. As people from Jiangnan, everyone is definitely on Lu Zheng's side psychologically!
Today, Lu Zheng did not come forward, but just said a few words and won a great victory, allowing the noble prince who was beyond reach of ordinary people to return home in a mess. To be honest, no one who is from Jiangnan today is unhappy.
But these servants brought their happiness here, which was obviously a bit out of place. Ruan Jingnian's face had turned into a pig's liver, and His Royal Highness Pu's expression also became extremely stiff.
Everyone present was an old fox. According to the descriptions of several servants from the Gu family, they could understand the clever trick Lu Zheng used after a little thought. It was originally a courtesan competition, but Lu Zheng cleverly turned it into a talented man from the north to come to Jiangnan to smash the scene.
This time, the nature of the matter changed fundamentally, and the result was naturally self-evident. No matter how powerful the prince was and how many people under his command, Youdao is a powerful dragon that does not defeat the local snake. How could he fight over the entire Jiangnan talent group?
"This guy is cunning!" Ruan Jingnian was bleeding and she wanted to cry without tears. For this courtesan competition, the Ruan family secretly spent a lot of money. Not only did they attract many talented people, but they also secretly spent a lot of money. After working so much, the Ruan family had only one purpose, that is, they must overthrow the Lu family. Only by overwhelming the Lu family can the Ruan family truly rise.
But now, everything has become nothing, and the bamboo basket is in vain. Zhang Xinyue has not entered the third league, and Liancheng Pavilion can only be suppressed by the Lu family in the next year.
Gu Tianyang admired Lu Zheng's methods very much. He planned so much, with the purpose of uniting Jiangnan. Only unity can resist foreign invasions.
He felt that it was very difficult and difficult. Lu Zheng did it very well. He could do it very beautifully. He was so easy that the prince of Qin was beaten to the ground.
He glanced at Ruan Jingnian and was filled with joy when he saw Ruan Jingnian's face, but everyone with face could not be forgotten even if they were proud. He moved his mind and slowly walked to Lu Shanchang's side, laughed and said:
"Congratulations to Brother Lu, congratulations to Brother Lu, Brother Lu was unintentionally planting willows and willows. Miss Song from Tianshui Pavilion has made a big splash this time!
Of course, the most important thing is to congratulate Brother Lu. The Lu family has Lin'er. Although Lu Zheng is not old, his talent is indeed very talented and his influence and appeal among talented men in Jiangnan cannot be underestimated. In the future, this son will definitely be a pillar of the country!"
Faced with Gu Tianyang's praise, Lu Shanchang's waist was straight. He glanced at Ruan Jingnian, smiled reservedly, and said, "Brother Tianyang, don't say that. Zheng'er is still young, don't let him be proud! It's time to be young, and it's not necessarily good. It's hard to say what step Zheng'er can go in the future!"
After Lu Shanchang said this, Ruan Jingnian next to him couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of old blood. What a Lu Shanchang, he was really sprinkling salt on his wound!
The meme "I am young, but I may not be good at it" has now become a heart-wrenching illness for Ruan Jingnian. Ruan Shaolin, a genius of the Ruan family, has suffered repeated setbacks in front of Lu Zheng in recent years. This is the comment from the outside world to him.
Now that Lu Shanchang said this at this moment, it sounds so humble, but it sounds so harsh in Ruan Jingnian's ears, but what if it is harsh? The winner will always have the upper hand. The Ruan family was defeated this time. How could Ruan Jingnian have the confidence to challenge Lu Shanchang?
At this time, the people of the Ruan family finally came. Seeing that they were all losing their parents, they knew that what the Gu family members said just now was true. In today's Courtesan Competition, Lu Zheng was able to plan and make the Lu family win a complete victory, and the Gu family completely stepped on the Ruan family. The Gu family's thoughts were a bit complicated. Gu Tianyang was very surprised because the order in Jiangnan was still there.
At the same time, Gu Tianyang felt a sour smell in his heart, because the Gu family's Biyun Pavilion was actually suppressed by the Lu family's Tianshui Pavilion, and the face of the Gu family's first family was a little damaged.
