Tao Yao, who raised his arms high, his face red, blowing his beard and staring: "You are such a sharp-tongued braggart, I...I..."
The prince was extremely excited.
I'm anxious. This old man is anxious.
Tao Yao was defeated in the end.
It wasn't because of his lack of education, but because he underestimated Chu Qing, and the other reason was because of his lack of experience. He never thought that a young man would dare to argue with him like this, and it was all "wrong reasoning".
Under what circumstances would a literati take action, that is, when it is unreasonable to explain it? Therefore, when Tao Yao was defeated and this matter spread, it no longer mattered whether Chu Qing plagiarized or not. What mattered was that he, Tao Yao
, the Prince's Young Master, lost face greatly, became angry and wanted to take action.
"This... Mr. Chu?"
Tao Zhongyuan, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth, his voice full of teasing.
"Since Mr. Chu is so talented, why did he go to the Tao Mansion to propose marriage a few days ago? This little girl is not talented and has not been proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. How could she win the favor of the Mr. Chu? Unfortunately, my father rejected you. Even
Little girl, I also look down upon you... quite a bit."
Chu Qing was slightly startled and understood what the other party meant.
Before, I licked my face and asked for marriage, but then, the Tao family didn't take a fancy to me.
First of all, Tao Zhongyuan belittled herself, saying that she was not good at poetry, calligraphy and painting. Even so, she still did not like Chu Qing.
It was a bit of a sneaky change of concept, but it did help his father regain his position, mainly by diverting his attention.
"Asking for marriage..." Chu Qing clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly: "May I ask Miss Tao, your Tao family, it can be seen that the student brought eight large sedans?"
"You just asked for marriage, why..."
Chu Qing interrupted coldly: "Did you see that the student brought a lot of money, or that the student brought a matchmaker, or that he left Liupin?"
"This girl said, you are just..."
"No, Miss Tao misunderstood." Chu Qing raised his hand and said: "The eight-carriage sedan is carrying ladies from all walks of life. They pay a lot of money to beg for a wife. They are looking for a perfect body. The matchmaker is marrying, and the one he marries is a virtuous and virtuous man. The matchmaker is six.
Hi, I hired someone who is knowledgeable and sensible. The student just went to visit Tao Mansion and did not ask for marriage. I don’t know where Miss Tao got her confidence. She thought that everyone who entered your Tao Mansion was asking for marriage. You thought you were... Oh, I asked you to marry me, Tao.
Girl, you..."
The word "is it worthy?" was not uttered, but Chu Qing's expression, tone, and playful look were self-evident.
"Master Tao, Miss Tao, students have important matters to attend to. Please take your leave!"
After finishing his words, Chu Qing saluted the two princes again, then turned and walked away.
Prince Chang Yu's eyes widened, his expression full of admiration.
The Tao family father and daughter were both ashamed and angry, especially Tao Zhongyuan, who clenched her silver teeth tightly and made a rattling sound. She felt that the prince was being "humiliated" in front of him and wanted to cut Chu Qing into pieces to relieve the hatred in her heart.
Chu Qing left, and the five people in the room had different expressions.
Tong Gui, who had been watching the excitement, was dumbfounded. This was the first time he saw Tao Yao lose his temper like this. It was obvious that he couldn't explain it, and he was so angry that he was ready to take action.
The second prince Changxian smiled bitterly.
Prince Chang Yu's eyes shone brightly and he stared at Tao Yao closely, feeling very satisfied in his heart.
Tao Yao blew his beard and stared, his chest heaving.
Tao Zhongyuan clenched her pink fist tightly. If hatred could be exchanged for silver notes, Chu Qing could build another palace for Huang Laosi now.
"This boy..." Tao Yao said in a serious tone: "This boy must have stolen someone's knowledge. I, I will definitely expose his hypocrisy and ruin his reputation!"
Lao Tao is obviously angry. Chu Qing...is there any room for his reputation to be ruined?
Tao Zhongyuan suddenly turned around. In an instant, there were tears in his eyes, and he looked at Chang Yu with tears in his eyes.
"Your Highness..." Tao Zhongyuan's face was full of grievance: "Your Highness, that person humiliated me."
Chang Yu nodded stupidly: "I saw it."
"Your Highness, Your Highness is helping others vent their anger."
Chang Yu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "It's just a dispute over knowledge. It's just a dispute over knowledge."
"You..." Tao Zhongyuan stamped her foot, feeling ashamed and angry.
Changxian glanced sideways at Tao Zhongyuan, his expression a bit wary.
The sky has cleared up, the heavy rain has come and gone quickly, and the sun is shining brightly, just like Chu Qing's mood.
Walking in the palace, Chu Qing's steps were light, and the anger and frustration in his chest for many days were swept away.
What could be better to relieve stress than Tao Yao, the mastermind of the Tao family, who was so angry that he wanted to take action.
Chu Qing was not worried at all, not worried about the Tao family's revenge on him.
If anyone in the Tao family wants to take revenge on him, he will spread the news and blackmail Tao Yai to death.
Of course, he didn't think the Tao family were fools who would take the initiative to publicize this matter. He wouldn't be afraid even if they were given small shoes to wear. Anyway, he just wanted to go to hell.
When traveling in the world, the most fearful thing is losing face. Chu Qing feels that he has initially acquired this necessary ability.
At the Taowu Hall ruins, noisy sounds came again. After the rain stopped, farmers rushed over to continue working as soon as possible.
Looking at the bankers, Chu Qing suddenly felt strange.
Just now, Tao Yao was so angry that he humiliated the young lady of the Tao family, and now he is using the Tao family's farmers to work.
Chu Qing felt even better and yelled: "Work hard for me to make sure the project progresses!"
At the same time, Tong Gui just ran into the Jingyi Hall.
How could everything that happened in the palace be hidden from the prince's eyes, let alone concern the prince.
Tong Gui knelt on one knee, not daring to hide anything, and told the whole story.
Not saying no, Tao Yao went on strike and left the Yangyi Hall angrily. He also said that "evidence" must be found, which roughly meant that it must be proven that Chu Qing had stolen other people's knowledge and was pretending.
However, it can also be seen from this that the old man still has the paranoia of a scholar. He did not say that he was looking for someone to kill Chu Qing, but he only said that he was looking for "evidence".
Unfortunately, there is no knowledge of quantum mechanics in the Four Books and Five Classics, so the old man cannot build a time travel machine to find evidence.
Sun An was stunned for a moment while listening.
This Young Master Chu actually made the Crown Prince and Young Master speechless and almost made a move?
Huang Laosi, on the other hand, had no expression on his face. After hearing the whole story, he remained silent.
"Your Majesty." Tong Gui raised his head and glanced at Huang Laosi's expression: "When Mr. Tao left, he beat his chest and stamped his feet. He was probably very angry. Although he was supported by the young lady of the Tao family, he still staggered..."
The implication is that this old man is quite old and not in good health. He is so angry all of a sudden. If he is not walking to death in the palace, should he send an imperial doctor to take a look or have a eunuch comfort him on behalf of the emperor.
Sun An is obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem. Tao Yao is the head of the Tao family. He has many peaches and plums all over the world. Everyone among the civil servants admires him, at least on the surface. If this matter spreads,
After leaving, the emperor has not yet expressed his anger for Tao Yao. I wonder what Shilin wants to think.
"Your Majesty, if not, I will go to Tao Mansion..."
Huang Laosi finally spoke. He shook his head first, and then uttered four words expressionlessly—a battle of knowledge!
Sun An was stunned for a moment, then a look of understanding appeared on his face.
Yes, it was a dispute over knowledge. Tao Yao thought that Chu Qing was uneducated and incompetent.
But is this really the case? People can make horseshoes and cow nose rings, they can write poems and lyrics, and now they speak out their knowledge, so naturally they are not plagiarizing.
Since they are knowledgeable themselves and you, Tao Yao, have never competed with them, why should they help you?
Thinking of this, Sun An burst into laughter.
This Mr. Chu is really as your Majesty said, he is a wonderful and interesting man. The reason why he was misunderstood by Tao Yao is because of his style. Just like in Qizhen Pavilion and Zuilai Tower, he left
The most famous sayings of all time are put in the mouth of others, but do not care about the false reputation. Perhaps it is for this reason that they are "misunderstood" by the world.
Huang Laosi continued to approve the memorial and said softly: "Go and tell the prince, if he keeps messing around, I will skin him."
Tong Gui responded with "Wei" and walked backwards out of the palace.
As soon as they left, Huang Laosi raised his head and looked at the old eunuch.
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs..." Huang Laosi asked uncertainly: "Given its name, I'm afraid it's hard to be considered elegant."
Sun An nodded: "Old slave, I think so too, it's an eyesore."
Huang Laosi fell into silence again.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, just hearing the name is very attractive. I don’t know if that guy will tell me in the future that this princess’s physique is... quite good.
