Chapter 28 Worship
Mr. Wu shook his carved folding fan and said dissatisfiedly: "Whoever Mrs. Liu arranged to write the invitation invites all kinds of cats and dogs, disturbing my good mood."
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Brother Wu is right. I felt good after seeing the lotus. But when I met someone in the yard, I suddenly felt bad."
Liu Suiyue brought several friends to listen to the piano. When she heard several young masters criticizing Sang and Huai, she thought they were right without answering. She wondered why the servants sent invitations to Jiang Chenqi and disturbed everyone's mood of admiring the lotus.
Xu Miaoyu and others were dissatisfied and stared at Mr. Wu and others.
The young masters spoke directly and often offended others. Due to their good background, they were praised by countless people.
Jiang Chenqi was not used to people speaking freely. She crossed her arms and said coldly: "Xiao Jiang, have you smelled a strange smell? It seems to be the smell of straw. I remembered that this is the smell of straw bundles.
, the common people call them straw bags. Straw bags rely on the blessings of rice to jump up and down, thinking they are so great, but in fact they can only be used as a starter to light the fire."
Jiang Yuyou nodded cooperatively, and seeing that Jiang Chenqi did not suffer any loss, he quietly summoned the released Gu insects back into the box. If a few young masters bully others, they will definitely suffer the pain of being bitten by the Gu insects.
Mr. Wu put away his fan and said angrily: "You Jiang Chenqi, you dare to call us idiots. You are really rude. No one outside knows that the Fourth Young Master is talented and is a well-deserved talent in the capital."
The other three young masters stood on Mr. Wu's side and spoke out against Jiang Chenqi. They were dissatisfied that she was an official as a woman and still a high-ranking first-class official.
You must know that the official career is bumpy and difficult to make progress. Those first- and second-grade officials, except Jiang Chenqi, are not old men with gray beards and hair.
I didn't see Jiang Chenqi taking the imperial examination, and I didn't hear that she wrote amazing poems. She became a high-ranking official relying on the emperor's favor, how could she convince people?
It turned out that several people were jealous of her love. Jiang Chenqi was calm and said with a smile, "Miss Liu, please take us to a quiet courtyard. Let me compete with a few of you. I will be better at something than you."
Under the strong request of several talented people, Liu Suiyue could only take the people to a remote courtyard without leaving to watch the fun.
Xu Miaoyu and others stood under the eaves, silently cheering for Jiang Chenqi in their hearts.
Mr. Wu asked his entourage to fetch the guqin and play a beautiful tune. He was sure to win against the warrior Jiang Chenqi.
"Commander Jiang doesn't have a guqin. How about using Wu's guqin for the time being, so that you don't have to make excuses for yourself if you lose. Just like the guqin, let's compete with each other to see who has better playing skills. The people present will make a fair judgment."
This guqin is good, older than the one she practiced on. Old guqins have spirituality. Jiang Chenqi sat on the straw mat and gently plucked the strings.
Jiang Chenqi did not play famous music, but she played in the short first half of her life.
When he was a child, he lived a carefree life, but when the Chu family was in trouble, his life was turned upside down. Meeting Shen Yan ignited hope in his life, and he worked hard to learn various skills and turn himself into a humanoid weapon.
Mr. Wu's piano music makes people feel relaxed, while Jiang Chenqi's piano music contains so much content that it makes people shed tears unconsciously.
It's like seeing a lonely girl wandering the world alone. The loneliness is heartbreaking.
Xu Miaoyu cried with her friends, but she didn't expect Jiang Chenqi to play the piano.
After finishing the song, Jiang Chenqi stood up and looked at Mr. Wu with sharp eyes, "Mr. Wu cannot play such a sad song. You are lucky enough to be born in a wealthy family and have never experienced hardship. Your song is the wind of spring in March, and my song is
It’s the ice of winter.”
In the first game, Jiang Chenqi won without a doubt. Mr. Wu had nothing to say after losing, and stood there glumly.
Next, they competed in chess, painting, and martial arts. Wu Gongzi's three friends all lost to Jiang Chenqi. They were surprised to find that Jiang Chenqi was proficient in chess, calligraphy, and painting.
It was the boring person who said that Jiang Chenqi was a rude martial artist with no knowledge or skills. With such high artistic attainments, she could be a talented woman in the capital, and she would have no problem taking the imperial examination.
Seeing the shocked expressions of the young masters, Jiang Chenqi smiled slightly and said in a kind tone: "Do you want to know why the emperor values me? On the one hand, I am excellent, and on the other hand, I have no family to control. An obedient knife
Who wouldn’t like it? Your gorgeous swords are loyal to the family, so the emperor will naturally not grant you official titles.”
Xu Miaoyu was too lazy to talk to the young masters. She walked up to Jiang Chenqi and said in an admiring tone: "Commander Jiang, you are so awesome. You work so hard in martial arts and still have time to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Is there anything you don't know how to do?"
Jiang Chenqi thought for a while and said with a smile: "I'm not very good at female celebrities. I can only mend clothes. After all, I don't have a mother to sew clothes for me, so I have to learn by myself. I learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting from the old ladies in the palace.
Mammy said that if you have many skills and you don’t have to worry about it, you can’t survive in the future, so you can just make a living by performing arts.”
Poor Jiang Chenqi, how can she survive the hard days? A child without a mother to care about is so pitiful.
Xu Miaoyu and others gathered around Jiang Chenqi to greet her. When they inquired and learned that Jiang Chenqi had studied hard in the past and had no time to play, no one cared about her. They felt even more pity for Commander Jiang.
Prince Wang lowered his face and walked to Jiang Chenqi, and said in a polite tone: "I admit that you have great martial arts skills and great literary talent. You are qualified to be a high official. As the commander of the Beiya Imperial Army, you should not abuse your power. Yao Shangshu and his family are in your hands."
On that day, according to regulations, he should be handed over to Dali Temple. Why did you detain him and torture him in every possible way? You actually let Yao Shangshu hoe the land and raise pigs."
I heard that Yao Shangshu started to learn to herd cows, and the dignified Hubu Shangshu went to herd cows, which made conscientious scholars angry.
It is a good thing for young people to be enthusiastic, but it is not a good thing to have no good vision, Jiang Chenqi defended herself.
"The arrest of Yao Shangshu is the emperor's order. Otherwise, why would I arrest him if I have no enmity with Yao Shangshu? The authenticity of the evidence is not the emperor's final decision. I privately admire Yao Shangshu as a person and do not want his family to go to Dali Temple.
Suffer the punishment and your life will not be in danger if you stay in my territory."
"What's wrong with hoeing the land and raising pigs? When Yao Shangshu returns to his hometown in the future, he can support his family by relying on the land left by his ancestors. If Yao Shangshu doesn't bow to the emperor, do you think he can still stay in the capital and serve as an official?"
Jiang Yuyou spoke for Jiang Chenqi and was rude and sarcastic, "Young masters, please use your brains. If the emperor trusts Yao Shangshu, why would he send out the imperial guards? Yao Shangshu is upright and not loyal to the emperor. If the emperor doesn't suppress him, who will he suppress?
.If it weren’t for the kindness of our commander, the Yao family would have been half dead if they went to Dali Temple, and they could just live an ignoble existence and suffer some hardships under the eyes of the emperor.”
Prince Wang was speechless. He wanted to say that Jiang Chenqi was quibbling, but he also felt that Jiang Chenqi's words were reasonable.
The emperor is not a teenage boy. He wants to save Yao Shangshu with just one sentence. No matter how powerful Jiang Chenqi is, how can he disobey the order?
