Be a master through ancient times

"Brother Chu, how about we go to the banquet?"

After Chu Ci was busy with the affairs of the Imperial College, he came to the household department. At this time, when Chu Ying was leaving the office, he was at a loss when he heard Chu Ci say this.

"Brother Chu, you... mean you are going to a banquet?"

"Yes, to the banquet. Since others have kindly invited you, how can we be so ignorant of etiquette?" There was some deep meaning in Chu Ci's smile.

"But……"

"Come on, go or not?" Chu Ci tapped on the table lightly.

"Go, just go, Chu gave up his life to accompany the gentleman today, and everything is up to you, Brother Chu." Chu Ying smiled wryly, closed the account book, put it in the cabinet under the table, and locked the cabinet.Although he didn't know what Chu Ci was up to, his intuition told him that he still listened to Chu Ci.

The two went out of the household department hand in hand. As soon as the concierge saw them, he rushed to see Mr. Cheng, the Shangshu of the household department, and said that Chu Ci had come to look for Chu Ying again. The two smiled and did not know where they were going. .

Master Cheng nodded to show that he understood, and waved him to go out.After the concierge left, he snorted immediately, and said to Mr. Li: "I did the math today, and Chu Ying has allocated six sums of money. If this continues, he will lose all the money. Today Then Chu Ci came to find Chu Ying again, I don't know what the hell they want to do again!"

"My lord, there is no way to do this. Who asked the emperor to hand over the construction of this cultural park to Chu Ci? However, this Chu Ying is too outrageous. Does he still have us Shangguan in his eyes? Mr. Wang, you are his immediate boss, won't he listen to you?" Mr. Li said.

Mr. Wang's face darkened: "You two also heard yesterday, he refused to hand over the account, what can I do? Besides, I went to him again yesterday afternoon, this guy is not good at anything, no matter what I say What, he just insisted that Chu Ci entrusted him with this matter, and he dared not lie to others! In my opinion, the key point is still on Chu Ci. Mr. Cheng, you have already disclosed that matter to Yu Shitai Why? How come they didn’t make a sound when they went to court today?”

Mr. Cheng didn't know the reason, and after thinking for a while, he wondered: "The people at Yushitai have always been narrow-minded. It stands to reason that the Ci of Chu has offended them again and again. Now that they are using the Ci of Chu, how can they remain indifferent?"

"Do they still want to wait until they catch a few more pigtails?" Master Li guessed.

"It's possible that the people at Yushitai are the smartest. They must have been investigating secretly. We just wait for the news. Then we must make that Chu Ci look good! He actually encouraged the students to do that low-level deed, is it possible? Are you treating the Imperial College as a stage?" Lord Wang was filled with righteous indignation, and those who didn't know thought he was thinking for the Imperial College.

"Let's not talk about him for now, just talk about the one surnamed Zhao. I don't know what he thinks. The old man invited him here yesterday, and he clearly wanted him to put pressure on Chuci together, but who would have thought that today he would go up against him?" I actually asked the Holy One to build roads, and the Holy One agreed, and asked the Ministry of Households to transfer the money, I am really angry!" Cheng Da said angrily, and he looked at the two servants on the left and right, "I will hand over this matter to you." It's up to you to handle it, and within three days, raise 5 taels and send it to Zhao, otherwise, in a few days, it will be the old man who will be impeached by Yushitai!"

Yushitai, who has been mentioned many times, is also helpless. Although according to reliable sources, there is indeed something inappropriate about Chu Ci's actions, but after the previous impeachment incidents, when faced with the news of Chu Ci Always a little overwhelmed.

Let’s talk about impeaching him. This man is eloquent and has many acquaintances in the court. If someone speaks up and asks him to defend himself during the impeachment, and he talks nonsense in front of the Holy One, I’m afraid Yushitai’s prestige will be reduced again.If you don't impeach him, it will be really embarrassing!

Everyone in Yushitai thought and thought about this thorn, and finally came to a conclusion, observe first, collect sufficient evidence, and then defeat it in one fell swoop.Before the evidence of Chu Ci's mistake is conclusive, he must not act rashly like before.

……

Chu Ci had no idea that he had become Yushitai's confidant, he and Chu Ying came to Jiang's house in a carriage, looked at the golden house, and couldn't stop shaking their heads in their hearts.

Although Chen Haiping's family is also rich, at least it can be seen that the master's taste is extraordinary. This Jiang's family looks like a nouveau riche, and it looks rustic. Only one generation started to make a fortune.

"Brother Chu, what are you thinking?" Chu Ying couldn't help asking when she saw Chu Ci staring at the house in front of her in silence.

"It's nothing, let's go knock on the door." Chu Ci came back to his senses, chuckled, and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened.A young man poked his head out and saw two adults in official uniforms. Although he didn't dare to let them in directly, he didn't dare to neglect, so he could only politely ask: "May I ask the two adults to come to Jiang's house?" What's the matter?"

"It was the master of the Jiang family who invited us to the banquet today." Chu Ci replied.

The young man was very strange: "But, my master didn't order a banquet today, let alone tell us to wait for the guests to come."

Chu Ying was a little angry. He didn't want to come, but he was blocked at the door after he came. He really didn't know what to say: "Just go in and report that the guest is here. If he doesn't want to receive him, just say it, Chu I will never come to the door again in the future.”

The young servant, Chu Ying raised his eyebrows and was startled. He was afraid of offending some important person, so he quickly said: "Yes, yes, I will report it right away, and I ask the two adults to wait here for a while." After that, he ran away to the distance.

"Brother Chu, I really don't understand, why did you come to the banquet? This Jiang Shunyi is so deceitful, he even teased us, it's really hateful!" Chu Ying became more and more angry.

Chu Ci smiled mysteriously: "Brother Chu, don't get angry, you will know why Chu asked you to go to the banquet together later."

Chu Ying looked at Chu Ci with probing eyes, restrained her curiosity and waited patiently.

Soon, the boy came back. He looked like he was sweating profusely, and he must have been running very fast.Behind him was a man dressed as a butler.When he saw Chu Ci and Chu Ying, he immediately stepped forward to salute, and still greeted:

"My lords, please come in. My lord was very happy when he heard that your lords came to visit. However, he suffered from the wind and cold last night, so it might be inconvenient. He originally wanted to tell the two of you to hold a banquet at another day, but it was a pity that there was a lot of delay. If the two adults don't mind, the master can only chat with the two of you through the screen later, I don't know what you think?"

"Suffering from the wind and cold? Then we have to go in and take a look. Master Jiang donates money to others, so are we people who don't know etiquette?" After Chu Ci finished speaking, he stepped in unceremoniously, followed by Chu Ying, then The butler had no choice but to trot for two steps, and stepped forward to lead Chu Ci the way.

The butler led them to the flower hall, where a sumptuous table was set up, with abalone, ginseng, wings and belly, which showed that the Jiang family was rich and powerful.There is a screen in front of the table, and from under the screen, Master Jiang can be seen sitting behind.

"Master Jiang, I heard that you feel cold occasionally. I don't know if it's okay? Why don't you let brother Chu and I go in and take a look, so that we can rest assured." Chu Ci said, and he was about to go in.

"No!" Master Jiang inside yelled, "cough cough...Chu Siye, Jiang wants to say that I have a severe cold, and the doctor said that it may be severe. The two adults are busy with business, if you also suffer from the cold , that would be bad."

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? That's it, then Chu is being rude."

Chu Ci and Chu Ying sat down at the table, and the two beautiful maids immediately stepped forward to pour wine for them. Chu Ci raised his glass and said to Master Jiang who was sitting behind the screen: "I could have had a drink today, but it's a pity Ah, it's not a coincidence that Mr. Jiang's wind and cold are here. Brother Chu, let's have a toast."

Master Jiang sat on the screen and listened to the two people drinking and chatting outside, feeling itchy in his heart.These two gentlemen are suave, talented and beautiful. The people he usually hooks up with are all vulgar fans. How has he ever seen such a man?It was a pity to finally invite two people to the banquet... He touched the corner of his mouth and let out a "hiss" in pain.

Chu Ci heard this voice sharply, and secretly laughed inwardly.As soon as he rolled his eyes, he had an idea in his mind.

"Master Jiang is the master after all, and Chu wants to offer you a toast. However, considering that you have not recovered from the cold, this cup... let the manager of the Jiang family replace it. I wonder if Master Jiang will agree?"

"Since Chu Siye is willing to reward the face, it is Jiang's honor. Ah Cai, you can drink for me."

"Yes." The manager walked over obediently, Chu Ci inadvertently stretched out his foot, tripping him upright, the manager tilted his body, bumped into the screen, and knocked down the screen.

With the sound of "bang", with a swollen pig's face with bruises and two big dark circles, the bewildered Master Jiang was instantly exposed in front of everyone.When Chu Ying saw it, she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed uncontrollably.Chu Ci also reacted like him, feeling extremely happy.

"Chu's two are rude! I don't know what kind of wind and cold Mr. Jiang suffered, how could he become like this?" Chu Ci asked with concern after laughing.

"It made the two adults laugh. I don't know who was plotting against Jiang last night, and he was beaten into this appearance. Because it is hard to see people in this state, Jiang pretended to be cold and covered it with a screen, but he didn't want to. Let the two of you see it."

Master Jiang carefully observed the reactions of the two of them, and he had ruled out their suspicions in his mind. It was the first time they saw him like this.So, who secretly attacked him, and only slapped him in the face?

……

"Hahaha, Brother Chu, I finally know why you asked me to come to the banquet." Sitting in the carriage going back, Chu Ying laughed loudly. eliminated.

"Really? Chu is just keeping the promise." Chu Ci smiled playfully at Chu Ying.

Chu Ying was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right, brother Chu is a promise-abiding person, and Chu understands."

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.
