Let’s not care whether Cao Zijian acted out of anger and disregarded the overall situation, or because he was discouraged and acted in a scholarly manner.
But personally, in the eyes of the world, his behavior can indeed be called magnanimous.
In comparison, Governor Feng considered himself to be highly talented and only offered one fight to Cao Zhi, which seemed too narrow-minded.
By then this matter will really be spread to the world, and the historical image of Feng Jishi as a man with talent but no virtue, arrogance and no tolerance will be impossible to escape.
Thinking of how everyone in the world laughed at him for being a villain, Governor Feng's face became extremely ugly.
Zhang Xiaosi and her brother-in-law share the same feelings. When she heard Governor Feng shout "Oops", and when she thought about it, her face turned even uglier than Governor Feng's.
Because she was the one who proposed this matter, and she even did it herself.
The good thing that made him famous all over the world due to his friendship with Cao Zijian, turned into a bad thing because of this operation, but it was still a big bad thing.
Things are changing so fast that it really catches people off guard.
Seeing his brother's face distorted, Sister-in-law Zhang's expression was horrified, the two of them stared at each other, and Li Yi's heart skipped a beat.
Is this... something happened?
As the younger brother, he naturally has to have eyes.
Although he still had something important to tell his brother, looking at the appearance of his brother and Sister Zhang, it was obvious that now was not the time to talk.
At that moment, he quickly left the front hall with the excuse that he was too tired from the journey.
When there were only two people left in the front hall, Governor Feng said solemnly:
"How did you handle that matter?"
Zhang Xiaosi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Probably... Liangzhou, in a few days, it will be spread throughout the country..."
Feng Shidun felt his eyes darken. For the first time, he felt that high efficiency was not entirely a good thing.
He supported the table with his hands and asked tremblingly:
"Where is Guanzhong?"
"We should have arrived at Longguan..."
Feng Jishi couldn't hold on any longer. His body softened and he sat down on the chair. He looked at Zhang Xiaosi with dull eyes: "What should I do?"
"Brother-in-law, don't panic..."
Why don't I panic?
When the time comes, it will be me who gets poked in the back by everyone in the world, and I will still be the one who will be infamy for thousands of years in history!
In the past, it didn't matter how much the aristocratic family tried to smear themselves.
Because history will prove everything.
But this time it's different, it's really different.
Cao Zhi will be one of the most respected figures among literati for hundreds of years to come.
Of course, if this thing hadn't happened, even if I couldn't surpass Cao Zhi in the literary world, at least I wouldn't be lower than him.
In the face of Cao Zhi's operation, he is so talented that he really loses his character.
I really want to mess this up. The Han Prime Minister, who wants to restore the orthodoxy of the Han family, has no choice but to come to Liangzhou with a stick and beat me, Mr. Feng.
A little further, if because of this incident, the latecomer Li Taibai came to "Penglai article Jian'an bone, only Feng Yong has no capacity"...
Governor Feng didn't dare to think about it any more.
Also, if you have something to do, you can call me brother-in-law, and if you have nothing to do, you can call me Alang?
I thought Xiaosi told me not to panic, because she was already thinking about it.
But when he turned around and saw her appearance, Governor Feng had to persuade her in turn:
"Stop chewing, your fingers will become bald if you keep chewing on them."
They all have a bad habit, they like to bite their fingers whenever they encounter difficulties.
Zhang Xingyi took his thumb out of his mouth, said "oh", and then subconsciously put the other one into his mouth.
Governor Feng:...
Forget it, the most urgent task at hand is how to minimize the impact of the talent issue.
Feng Yong shook his head, then took a few deep breaths to force himself to calm down.
For a while, the front hall became quiet and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
This was also the first time since Zhang Xingyi followed Feng Yong that there was silence and depression between the two, which made her a little overwhelmed.
But it was her suggestion that caused this incident.
Concern leads to chaos. Looking at Governor Feng's stern face, Zhang Xiaosi was a little confused.
Feng Yong, who was deep in thought, heard a whisper in his ear, raised his head, and found Zhang Xingyi shaking his hand.
At the moment, he was angry and funny at the same time: "I told you not to bite your finger, but you didn't listen. Does it hurt if you bite it?"
As he spoke, he took her hand and took a closer look, and saw that there were many tiny bite marks on it.
Zhang Xingyi bit her lower lip: "Brother-in-law, what should we do now?"
Feng Yong shook his head: "What can be done? What can be done in this short period of time? The only thing that can be done at the moment is to call back the people who were sent out first."
As Feng Yong spoke, he gently blew on Zhang Xingyi's fingers.
Rumors spread are like water thrown out, there is no way to take them back.
But at least we can't add fuel to the fire any more.
Of course, just doing this is not enough.
This is a classic public relations crisis.
Seeing that his Alang actually cared about his fingers under such circumstances, Zhang Xiaosi was ashamed and angry, and almost burst into tears.
Feng Yong felt warm in his heart when he saw that she was more anxious than he was.
He opened his mouth and comforted him: "There will be a road before the car reaches the mountain. There will always be a way. What are you afraid of?"
Zhang Xingyi was about to cry and said timidly:
"I'm afraid that my sister will beat me to death when she finds out about this..."
Governor Feng's face froze and he threw Zhang Xiaosi's hand away on the spot!
I sighed with regret, finally paying the wrong amount...
But when Xiaosi mentioned General Guan, Feng Yong frowned a little.
General Guan Da is now the guardian beast of the governor's office. He has a magnificent bearing and will not get angry easily.
In other words, for the sake of the child in his belly, General Guan is now cultivating his moral character.
"It's impossible to hide this matter..."
Governor Feng also felt a headache.
Guan Ji knows about the talent.
This time the Prime Minister sent Li Yi to escort Cao Zhi's envoy. How could such a big thing be hidden from her?
Now I just hope that the aura of being stupid for three years after being pregnant will work to temporarily suppress General Guan's IQ.
"If your sister mentions this matter then, I will handle it."
At this time, Governor Feng could only take matters into his own hands.
Otherwise, it would be a small matter that Zhang Xiaosi could not escape, but it would be a big deal if General Guan Da was emotionally unstable and affected the fetus in his belly.
Zhang Xingyi nodded quickly.
Death is a dead end. It is better to die early than to die late. If you can drag someone down, you are the only one.
I just thought so. Seeing that it was time for dinner, Zhang Xiaosi still had to follow his brother-in-law to the backyard step by step.
It wasn't until he saw General Guan's smiling face, without any sign of anger, that Zhang Xingyi felt slightly relieved.
Governor Feng was much more calm. While Amei and Li Mu were setting up the dishes, he helped Guan Ji sit next to him and asked:
"Xijun, why do you look so happy? But what's the happy event?"
Guan Ji, whose face was filled with joy, heard this, but first glanced at Zhang Xingyi, who was sitting silently in her seat.
Then he fell on his own A Lang, and his eyes became a little gloomy:
"Wenxuan came to see me today and told me some things."
The younger brother came to Liangzhou from Hanzhong, met his elder brother, and then went to greet his elder sister-in-law. The etiquette was very good.
It's just that Governor Feng and his mistress had something on their mind when they heard this.
Governor Feng was fine, but he just had a "thump" in his heart.
Zhang Xiaosi's body already trembled slightly.
I saw a look of regret on Governor Feng's face, and he quickly ordered:
"Oh, if you don't mention it, I almost forgot about Wenxuan. Come, please invite Wenxuan to come and sit down at the table."
Excluding Zhao Guang and Wang Xun, the Xinghan Hui now only has two brothers, Li Yi and Li Qiu, plus Huang Chong, who can participate in the ordinary family banquets of Feng Mansion.
In addition, the two concubines of the Feng family were publicly granted concubines by the imperial court and were eligible to meet foreign guests.
So Li Yi didn't have to avoid suspicion at all.
"I don't know how you are a brother. Isn't it too rude to call someone now?"
Guan Ji said angrily, "I have already made arrangements for this."
As she spoke, she glanced suspiciously between Feng Yong and Zhang Xingyi, and then asked seemingly casually:
"Does Alang know that Li He is also pregnant?"
"Li Heshi?"
Governor Feng didn't react for a moment, "Whose family does it belong to?"
General Li looked at him with a half-smile:
"It seems that Wenxuan didn't tell Alang that he was happy in his inner chamber, but he came to tell me first. This move is a bit strange."
Then Governor Feng remembered that Li Yi married the daughter of the He family, so his wife's name was naturally Li He's.
There is so much meaning in General Guan’s words, so much meaning!
It's just a matter of saying that Governor Feng's behavior today was too weird.
But who is Governor Feng?
We are close friends with General Guan, who doesn't know the details of the other?
Seeing her like this, he knew that she was just testing, so he smiled and said:
"Wenxuan was really tired all the way here. I asked him to go down and rest early, so we didn't talk much."
"I think he probably thought it would be better to talk to Mr. Xi about this matter. After all, Mr. Xi has experience..."
As Governor Feng spoke, he reached over and wanted to touch his big belly.
Then General Guan knocked off his outstretched claw with a "snap", then rolled his eyes at him and said leisurely:
"Who knows if Wenxuan felt that he was not suitable to be there at that time?"
Do you still want to hide the affairs of the governor's house from the general?
But Feng Jishi forced a smile: "The office of the governor's office is not the backyard. Why does Wenxuan feel that he is not suitable to be there?"
Guan Ji said meaningfully: "Who knows? Or maybe someone is doing something illegal?"
"Xijun is joking..."
There are irregularities, but General Guan has found the wrong person.
Li Mu, who was laying out the food, had a trace of blush on his neck, which was spreading to his face at a visible speed.
Fortunately, General Guan's attention was entirely on Zhang Xiaosi and he didn't notice Li Mu at all.
This time, Xiaosi really took advantage of the situation.
At this moment, Li Yi stepped in and broke Feng Jishishi's embarrassment.
"I've met my brother and all the sisters-in-law."
Li Yi saluted.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but with this salute, Zhang Xingyi bowed in.
"Wenxuan, there is no need to be formal, sit down quickly."
Feng Yong said hello, and then told his children, "Go and say hello to Uncle Li."
Shuangshuang and Ah Chong walked up to Li Yi and saluted together.
Li Yi smiled and touched the heads of his two sisters.
After everyone sat down, Feng Yong smiled at Li Yi and said:
"My brother and sister are happy, but you didn't tell me, but you went to tell your sister-in-law first. As a result, I was scolded by your sister-in-law, saying that you called me brother in vain."
Li Yi groaned and subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look at Zhang Xingyi, but his head was only halfway turned and he seemed to remember something.
Then he stretched out his hand eagerly and picked up the tea on the table:
"My little brother was negligent. It is not appropriate to drink alcohol at this time, so I will drink tea instead of wine and punish myself with three drinks first."
Governor Feng quickly stopped him and said: "Okay, okay, my brother, why do you need to be so open to outsiders?"
"Besides, you just came from afar, and I'm going to let you punish yourself with three cups of wine first. How do outsiders think of me?"
Li Yi still had a drink and then said apologetically:
"It's because I didn't think carefully. I thought my sister-in-law has experience, so I was anxious to ask her what I need to pay attention to while I'm pregnant."
At this point, he winked at Feng Yong and said, "I can't believe it. If I could be as lucky as my brother, wouldn't it be wonderful to have both a son and a daughter in one fell swoop?"
These words made General Guan laugh.
Therefore, there is a reason why Li Yi is the representative of the Xinghan Association in the Prime Minister's Palace.
The so-called human spirit is nothing more than that.
Seeing General Guan's attention being diverted, Governor Feng's heart suddenly flashed with light.
His mood suddenly improved, and he greeted Li Yi happily:
"Come, come, have a meal, have a meal!"
Guan Ji had a big belly. Although she ate a lot, she usually ate many meals, so she put down her chopsticks first, sat beside Feng Yong, and then asked:
"Alang, I heard that Wenxuan is escorting Cao Zhi's envoy from Wei State and wants to make friends with Alang?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xingyi stretched out her chopsticks to hold the vegetables and almost lost her grip.
Governor Feng, on the other hand, looked calm: "That's right. Speaking of Cao Zijian, he has a bit of the demeanor of an ancient gentleman."
At the same time, he was still in the mood to give Xiao Si a wink: Don't worry, I'll take care of everything.
When Guan Ji heard this, she laughed:
"But a few days ago, the world's talented people were divided into eight fights by Alang, leaving only one fight for Cao Zijian. Now they are talking about the style of ancient gentlemen..."
When she said this, she actually frowned.
not good!
General Guan Da seems to be showing signs of breaking through the "one pregnancy makes you stupid for three years" seal.
Sure enough, she looked at Governor Feng with a slightly worried expression:
"If Cao Zijian is like an ancient gentleman, wouldn't Alang be..."
Governor Feng was as steady as an old dog and smiled calmly: "Don't panic, I have my own way."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaosi couldn't help but look over.
Little did she know that just now, Governor Feng saw Li Yi cleverly changing the subject, and finally thought of a way to break the situation.
"Oh? It turns out that Alang has already thought carefully about it."
Guan Ji's heart relaxed again, and she said with a smile, "It seems that I am worrying too much."
Governor Feng looked at Li Yi and said, "Not only do I have a way, but I can't even explain it. I can also achieve the best of both worlds."
Zhang Xingyi's eyes immediately widened.
Guan Ji asked curiously: "What do you want Alang to do?"
"Let's not talk about this matter. Let me ask Wenxuan a question first."
Li Yi was confused when he heard the conversation between Feng Yong and Guan Ji. When his brother mentioned him, he quickly sat upright.
After all, he was his brother, and he needed Li Yi's help in this matter. Feng Yong first made it clear about his "talented talents."
Then he asked: "Wenxuan, is the envoy sent by Cao Zijian good at writing and calligraphy?"
After hearing this, Li Yi understood why his brother reacted like that when he was in the front hall today.
At this time, when he heard his brother's question, he quickly replied: "He is proficient in writing and calligraphy. I think this is a scholarly matter, so Cao Zijian must have specially selected a literate retainer to come over."
Feng Yongyi took his hand and laughed and said: "If I can write and write, that would be even better. Let's see how I can build a good story with Cao Zi in the literary world."
After Li Yi knew the whole story, he was also worried.
It's just that he couldn't think of a way to break the situation even after thinking about it.
Hearing Feng Yong's words, he quickly asked: "Where does brother's plan come from?"
