Zhumen Hangui

"Xi'er, don't eat or drink like this, isn't it self-torture? Why is this necessary?"

Meng Lingxi who was lying on the bed was still indifferent when he heard the words, he couldn't pass the test in his heart.

Meng Shunlin sighed deeply, and asked his servants to bring down the cold soup and exchange it for hot ones.

When the great elder entered the room, seeing the silent and decadent Meng Lingxi, he stepped forward and slapped Meng Lingxi severely, making Meng Lingxi dizzy, and looked at him with disbelief in his eyes.

Meng Lingxi was a little dazed at the moment, the Great Elder had always loved him, and had never been so strict with him.

He couldn't even bear to say serious things, let alone beat him.

"Let me ask you, you have been talented since you were a child, and your family said you are a gift from heaven, and the family did their best to cultivate you, but you were defeated by Su Yizhao, do you feel ashamed?"

The elder's words made Meng Lingxi's face pale, and his voice was like a mosquito, "Yes! Xi'er is ashamed!"

Just when he thought that the elder was going to continue to reprimand him, he heard the elder's rebuttal.

"No! You shouldn't be ashamed!"

He was very surprised by the elder's words. He looked up at the elder, only to see that there was no anger in the eyes of the elder, but only kindness and tolerance.

"To tell you the truth, I made a fortune for you and Su Yizhao before. This boy is very strange, and your contact with him is a blessing and a blessing."

Meng Lingxi was very shocked. He looked at the elder inquiringly, his eyes full of doubts.

"He is really good, so we all lost to him in our confrontation."

The great elder sighed, "Even we have followed his way, let alone you who are not deeply involved in the world."

"Of course there are reasons for contempt, but I have to admit that he has a good plan. This kid is really a monster. It's not unusual or shameful for you to lose to him."

Hearing the great elder's unabashed admiration for Su Yizhao, Meng Lingxi lowered his head in disappointment.

He stepped forward and touched Meng Lingxi's head, "But people can't stand still, everyone will grow. He is one step ahead of you, so you can only catch up until you become him and surpass him. Not self-pity Self-pity, self-defeating."

Speaking of the latter, the tone of the Great Elder became severe.

"He is a formidable opponent. Maybe you chase him all your life, or maybe you surpass him after a few years."

"Leaving aside other things, let's just talk about character. Only with a firm heart can you go to the end. And Su Yizhao's heart is different from ordinary people. His strength not only refers to his talent, but also his heart. This is what you should learn from him. of."

Meng Lingxi was thoughtful, he was a little shy, compared to Su Yizhao, he was indeed not calm enough.

"In the face of two critical situations that seemed to be deadlocked, he was able to calmly think of countermeasures quickly. He deployed step by step and turned things around. This is his strength."

Meng Lingxi was very ashamed when he heard the words, he felt more and more unworthy to compare with Su Yizhao.

In fact, what the Great Elder didn't say was that Xi'er regarded him as an opponent, but Su Yizhao didn't pay attention to Xi'er at all, Su Yizhao aimed at the court.

It's just that he can't say this, he found that Xi'er's temperament has been a little crooked in the past two years, he must correct it, and can't let a good child be destroyed by his own demons.

"I said so much, not to make you belittle yourself, but to make you regard him as a powerful opponent. Face him squarely and surpass him."

He patted Meng Lingxi on the shoulder, feeling a little distressed that he had carried a heavy burden on his shoulders at a young age.

"Xi'er, cheer up. You are simple-minded, and he is good at maneuvering. That's why you lost to him."

The great elder looked at Meng Lingxi who was a little stunned, and said seriously: "But this is a must-have for becoming an official. No one can keep his heart forever. The court is the battlefield, and you must adapt as soon as possible. I believe in you, I believe you will do it as soon as possible." grew up."

Meng Lingxi pursed his lips, and then gave a wry smile.

They are naturally hostile and cannot be sympathetic to each other.If you have different positions, you can't become friends after all.

If the Meng family wants to rise, it may harm Su Yizhao's interests and the Su family's interests.

No matter!So be it!If you can't be a friend, let him be an opponent who can compete with Su Yizhao, which is also very good.

The Great Elder saw that Meng Lingxi had figured it out, and his eyes were filled with relief.

It was already three days later when the fourth prince and Shizi Jingan arrived at Beiyuan Mansion.

A group of people entered the restaurant and planned to rest here.

However, as soon as they stepped into the restaurant, they heard someone in the lobby talking about Su Yizhao and Meng Lingxi.

Now, the rumors of several nearby prefectures have spread all over the world, and both Su Yizhao and Meng Lingxi have made a name for themselves.

But whether the reputation of the last two is good or bad depends on the results of the final investigation.

"According to me, let the government transfer Su Yizhao's papers for comparison, and the truth will be revealed? Why make everyone suspicious?"

The fourth prince and his party took their seats one by one. Just as they were about to order food, they heard a scholar next to him talking loudly.

"Brother Feng's words are reasonable, and I also think this is the most fair." His deskmate immediately agreed.

"It's really strange to say that this matter has become such an uproar, why is there no movement from the government?" Someone couldn't help asking in doubt.

Suddenly, a scholar approached their table, and then said mysteriously to them: "That means there is some talk here, how do we outsiders know?"

The scholars at that table all looked at each other, and then the light of gossip flashed in their eyes.

"Brother Lu, is it possible that you still know something inside?" The scholar named Feng just now asked immediately.

"Hey~ Think about the identities of the two of them. One is a son of an aristocratic family, and the other is a closed disciple of the Chief Assistant. Who knows if this involves the imperial court?"

Brother Lu sat down at that table as he said that, and the people at the same table immediately brought him tea and water, all listening attentively.

Even the people at other tables pricked up their ears, and the hall fell silent for a moment.

"Look! It's either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. It depends on who can have the last laugh."

As he spoke, he waved his hands, "We people! Just watch the excitement, but don't get involved in it. Otherwise, you will become cannon fodder and you won't know who is Jie Yuan? We won't get any benefits. "

His words made everyone present speechless, and they came back to their senses.

yes!What are they fussing about?Anyway, Jie Yuan is not their turn.

Zong Zeming took a deep look at this person, but he didn't expect this person to be quite clear-headed.

He thought for a moment, then cupped his hands at the man. "Brother, have you ever eaten? If you don't mind, come with us?"

This brother Lu has noticed Zong Zeming and his group long ago, but he can't help it. The clothes of this group are either rich or expensive, and they also have outstanding looks.

For some reason, he hesitated.However, after a while, he decided to go to that table to join in the fun.

These people are distinguished, if I can make friends with them, I shouldn't suffer a disadvantage.
