Chapter 535 Explanation
"Lord Chu, accept the order!"
Seeing that Chu Lianqing was in a daze, Hong Da reminded him.
"Yes, minister, obey the order!"
Chu Lianqing didn't dare to be distracted and immediately responded respectfully.
After reading the decree, Hongda was ready to leave.
He did not believe that Chu Lianqing had the courage to disobey the imperial order.
"Eunuch Hong..."
Chu Lianqing was still at a loss as to how he would let Hongda leave so easily. He took out the purse he had prepared from his cuff and stuffed it silently into Hongda's hand.
Hong Da touched the shape of the coin in the purse and was sure it was a gold coin, then weighed the size of the purse, nodded in satisfaction, and stopped his steps to leave.
Seeing that Hong Da had accepted the purse, Chu Lianqing breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Eunuch Hong, why does His Majesty care so much about dogs all of a sudden?"
"Young Master Chu is now well-known all over the world, and it is rare in a thousand years to get a perfect score in the first round of the exam. Now he is known as a star of Wenqu among the people. Your Majesty is very much looking forward to his next exam!"
Naturally, it was impossible for Hong Da to tell Chu Lianqing about Yu Wenchang's betting, so he just casually talked about the scene to fool him.
Hearing that Yu Wenchang cared so much about Chu Zhuang, Chu Lianqing's face froze a little, but soon he smiled again and said, "It's the dog's honor to be appreciated by His Majesty."
Hong Da knew about the quarrel between Chu Lianqing and Chu Zhuang, so he gave Chu Lianqing a half-smile and said, "Master Chu should be happy to have such a son!"
"Eunuch Hong said so."
There was a dark look in the depths of Chu Lianqing's eyes, even though he couldn't wish that Chu Zhuang would die immediately in his heart, he still had to praise Chu Zhuang with a smile on his face.
"The emperor is still waiting for our family to go back and answer! Master Chu, let's not talk more."
Hong Da ignored Chu Lianqing and left with others.
Chu Lianqing personally sent Hong Da out of the door. Seeing Hong Da and the others disappeared into the corner of the street and could no longer be seen again, the kind and comforting smile on his face gradually darkened.
"Master, this..."
Looking at Chu Lianqing's expression, Chu Nan pursed his lips tightly, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say for a while.
Now that Chu Zhuang was appreciated by the emperor, he even sent the eunuch closest to him to spread the word that it would not be so easy for them to deal with Chu Zhuang.
"I didn't expect this little brat to hide it so well. We didn't even discover his true face before."
The blue veins on Chu Lianqing's forehead protruded, and he said through gritted teeth.
In the first sixteen years of Chu Zhuang, he was unknown and even bullied by Sima Lianhe and others, so he was powerless to fight back.
Seeing that he was about to be belched by Sima Lianhe.
Who knew that the other party would rise up so quickly that it could not be concealed by lightning.
In just one year, Chuzhuang has grown to where it is today.
After he reacted, it would not be so easy to deal with Chu Zhuang.
"Master, Young Master Zhuang has a deep palace and is extremely tolerant. He is close to the Bai family, and to you, Master..."
Although Chu Nan's servant is not suitable to say these words to Chu Lianqing, but as the most loyal dog leg around Chu Lianqing, he still tried to persuade him: "Master, you have to guard against it!"
Chu Lianqing snorted coldly, he knew he had to be on guard against Chu Zhuang, that's why he called Chu Zhuang back.
But now, a big mountain was pressing on his head, making him unable to move.
"It's a pity, it's a pity that I couldn't directly attack Chu Zhuang when his wings were not yet full."
Chu Lianqing's heart was full of pity. When Chu Zhuang went to the Chu family, he should have killed Chu Zhuang without hesitation.
Although this move will bring him notoriety, at least he will never suffer from future troubles, which is much better than the current situation.
It's just a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and it's too late to regret it now.
"Master, what should we do now?" Chu Nan looked at Chu Lianqing and asked.
"The emperor has already issued an order, what else can I do, you go and call Zhang Yang back." Chu Lianqing said with a livid face.
Even if it was the emperor's oral order, Chu Lianqing would not dare to disobey it.
"Yes, the slave will go now." Chu Nan sighed slightly and left in a hurry.
……
"Why isn't Chu Zhuang here yet! Go and remind me!"
Chu Zhangyang sat patiently in the living room for more than half an hour, but he never saw Chu Zhuang again, so he couldn't sit still anymore.
"That's right, there is no one who has left the guests out for so long. Is this how Chuzhuang treats guests?" Sun Dehua couldn't sit still anymore, and said displeasedly.
"This……"
Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu looked at each other with a look of understanding in their eyes.
Chu Zhuang asked the two of them to watch here, and they naturally wouldn't leave just because of Chu Zhangyang and Sun Dehua's words.
"Please wait a moment, the young masters, the young master will come down soon."
It was still the same conversation, not even the slightest emotion.
"You, you!"
Seeing that Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu couldn't bear it any longer, Chu Zhangyang stood up angrily from his seat, and kicked Xiao Wu's calf on the right.
With Chu Zhangyang's speed, Xiao Wu is completely capable of avoiding it.
But Xiao Wu blinked, and still stood there motionless, allowing Chu Zhangyang to kick him up.
"what!"
There was a miserable cry from the living room.
But the cry was not Xiao Wu's, but Chu Zhangyang's.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
Chu Zhangyang hugged his right foot and jumped on the ground to relieve the pain.
But because the balance ability of the body is not particularly good, one accidentally fell to the ground directly, and was immediately embarrassed.
"Brother Chu, what's wrong with you?! Are you okay?!"
Sun Dehua hurried forward and helped Chu Zhangyang up from the ground.
After all, Chu Zhangyang is now his biggest thigh, so he can't just watch him like this.
However, Sun Dehua was also full of doubts. It was obvious that Chu Zhangyang kicked someone on his own initiative, so why did he fall to the ground in the end?
Chu Zhangyang only felt that the big toe of his right foot was about to be broken, and when the pain passed, he glared at Xiao Wu and asked angrily, "What is tied to your foot?"
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu smiled and said nothing, they had already started practicing martial arts with Yunmengxi on the way to Dongfeng Mansion.
On weekdays, if they are not going out or have important matters, they wear iron weight-bearing rings on their feet.
This Chu Zhangyang kicked on the iron plate, can it not hurt?
"You, you!"
Chu Zhangyang pointed at them, angry in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Did you say a word for a long time, and you were so angry that you were half dead.
"Brother Chu calm down."
Seeing Chu Zhangyang's flushed face, Sun Dehua was worried that he would faint, and quickly persuaded him in a low voice: "These evil servants only dare to be so arrogant because of Chu Zhuang. Brother Chu, you can deal with him however you want?"
Chu Zhangyang was comforted for a long time, and he imagined a scene of abusing Chu Zhuang, and only then calmed down the anger in his heart a little.
The door of the Chu family was knocked again, and Bai Dali opened the door.
"Chunan is here."
Yunmengxi saw Chu Nan rushing in from the study window, and said.
"The emperor really cares about Chu Zhuang. It should be the emperor who personally sent someone to warn Chu Lianqing, otherwise this person would not have come so soon." Yun Hong's eyes showed a clear look.
"With the Emperor protecting Chu Zhuang, it's not that easy for Chu Lianqing to deal with Chu Zhuang again!" Yun Mengxi said with a sigh of relief.
"The emperor's protection is only in the imperial examinations. When the gambling game accepts the prize, Chu Lianqing will naturally know the truth. At that time, he may still attack Chu Zhuang." Yun Hong frowned and said.
Yunhong is well aware of Yu Wenchang's indifferent and ruthless emperor character.
Don't look at Yu Wenchang's great care and love for Chu Zhuang and Yunhong now, but that's because Yu Wenchang wants to get benefits from them.
Once they are useless, Yu Wenchang will immediately throw them away without hesitation.
When the bet is over and Yu Wenchang gets the bet, it means that his protection of Chu Zhuang is over.
The most ruthless person in the world is the emperor!
"Ah?" Yunmengxi was stunned when she heard Yunhong's words.
"Don't think about such long-term things first, at least Chu Lianqing will not come to make trouble during the imperial examination period."
Chu Zhuang patted the back of Yunmengxi's hand and comforted him: "After the imperial examination, I will have an official status. It will not be so easy for Chu Lianqing to deal with me again."
The worst result would be to bear a bad name, sever ties with the Chu family, and escape from the Chu family.
Chu Zhuang had this plan a long time ago, but because he was worried about the imperial examination, he endured it.
When he has an official status, the constraints on Chu Zhuang will be much smaller.
"Well, the most urgent thing is to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and we will talk about the rest after the exam."
Yunmengxi also didn't want Chuzhuang to be too distracted at this time and nodded in response.
"And, don't forget, there is also the matter of the Golden Buddha."
Chu Zhuang looked at Yunmengxi and said, "Mengxi, go to the palace sometime and see if you have a chance to find out when the Golden Buddha will be sent to the Buddhist hall."
Once the matter of the Golden Buddha is exposed, not only Chu Lianqing will be implicated, but also Jing Heng, who had praised the Golden Buddha back then, will also be implicated.
At that time, Jingheng, the national teacher, will be questioned.
"Okay, I see. When you go to take the exam, I'll go into the palace and ask the queen mother." Yunmengxi nodded in agreement.
This matter is not difficult, Yunmengxi only needs to ask the Queen Mother to find out.
……
"Guan Nan, why are you here?"
Seeing Chu Nan, Chu Zhangyang was stunned, and then asked, "Did my father send you here to urge me? This Chu village is really outrageous..."
Chu Zhangyang was about to vomit his bitterness, accusing Chu Zhuang of being arrogant and leaving them here all the time, when Chu Nan interrupted him directly.
