Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 13

It was a handsome man, wearing a dark green robe with a loose belt, and his shoulders were slightly exposed. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a rather charming woman.

Xie Shu thought he was looking at someone else at first, looked around, and found that the person's gaze was always on him, and then realized that he was indeed looking at him.

Wei Yizhi was sitting on her right hand, seeing her looking at the singers all the time, he was surprised, did he like this kind of woman?

Wang Jingzhi also obviously misunderstood, he waved his hand boldly and said: "Since the prime minister likes it, he can choose from among these singers."

Xie Shu hurriedly said: "The governor is being polite. Since the governor is fond of him, how can he give up his love? The truth is that you can't do things that steal people's love."

Wang Jingzhi came here for the purpose of making amends, and he was not stingy: "Prime Minister, please don't be polite. Although a beauty is good, someone must appreciate it. Since the Prime Minister loves her, he will naturally cherish her. That is also her blessing."

Xie Shu looked over again, and the man who shot the building had stopped, staring at her blankly, as if he had something to say.

She stretched out her hand and pointed: "Forget about the diva, that musician is not bad. I really like to listen to him. You might as well keep him."

There was silence.

This kind of public selection of beauties is not uncommon among nobles, but it is the first time I have seen a public selection of a man.

Wang Jingzhi came back to his senses first, broke the stalemate with two dry laughs, and ordered the musician to come forward to serve him.

The man came to Xie Shu, bowed, looked at her face again and again, and suddenly called her in a low voice: "Ruyi?"

Xie Shu was shocked, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and suppressed it in time.

"It's so courageous," she threatened in a low voice, her voice was low: "I didn't ask you to talk, so how can you talk too much?"

The man was stunned, bowed his head and apologized: "The villain dare not."

Xie Shu called Mubai and told him to lead the man back to the prime minister's mansion first.

Wang Jingzhi watched the whole process with a delicate expression.

Wei Yizhi had been very silent during the banquet, and at this time he was just drinking silently and meditating.

After Xie Shu returned to the mansion, he did not go to see the man.

She clearly knew that this person was an old friend, maybe they had dug wild vegetables together, stole lotus roots together, caught grasshoppers together, but that was just the past, and the last thing she can let people know is the past.

Xie Ran soon found out about this matter, the prime minister's dislike for music was well known throughout the house, so it was naturally strange to bring a musician back suddenly.

He called Mubai to ask for a while, and then went to meet the musician.

Le Ren claimed to be Chu Lian, from Jingzhou, aged 22.Ask about the rest, don't answer at all, just say that you want to see the person who brought you here.

Xie Ran knew that Xie Shu lived in Jingzhou before returning to Xie's house, and seeing that this person was about the same age as Xie Shu, he already guessed a bit.

"Do you know who the person who brought you here is?"

Chu Lian shook his head: "The villain doesn't know."

That's weird, Xie Ran thought he knew Xie Shu's identity to get rich.

"Just wait, I will pass it on for you."

Chu Lian bowed down happily: "Thank you, sir."

Xie Shu sat in the study in a daze, and stopped writing for a long time, the ink dripped on his snow-white sleeves, and he became dizzy.

She regained her senses, stared at the ink stain, and simply sketched with a pen, absent-minded.

"Prime Minister is very interested." Xie Ran stopped in front of her and realized that what she painted was not a landscape of pines and bamboos, but a bastard with all four feet in the sky, with a distorted smile on her face.

Xie Shu covered his sleeves and coughed dryly: "What's the matter?"

"It's the prime minister who has something to do." Xie Ran sat down on his knees: "Is the prime minister being held by the old man? Otherwise, why would one desperately want to see him, and the other is determined not to see him?"

Xie Shu had already guessed that Le Ren's matter could not be hidden from him, and sighed: "It's sort of."

"Then what is the prime minister going to do?"

Xie Shu thought for a while: "Put him in a suitable place, preferably where I can't see him, and he can't mention me."

"Leave it to me then."

If something happened to Xie Shu, the big tree Xie Ran depended on for his survival would fall down. He didn't care what the reason Xie Shu was pinched, he only cared whether Xie Shu would be fine.

Xie Shu hesitated for a while before agreeing: "That's fine, but remember, don't hurt his life."

Xie Ran responded and was about to leave when Xie Shu suddenly asked, "What's his name?"

Xie Ran was taken aback: "Cheng Lian doesn't even know who he is?"

Xie Shu smiled wryly, only to feel that his eyebrows were familiar, and he really forgot who it was.

She had deliberately forgotten the past, but the man still remembered her clearly, and she didn't even have the courage to meet him.

"Chu Lian." Xie Ran turned around and left.

Chu Lian?Xie Shu couldn't remember the name, it must have been changed later.

The news that the prime minister received a beautiful boy and a musician from the governor Wang has already spread in the streets and alleys.

"No, my family's Xie Xiang is definitely not a manly person!" How many boudoir women's hearts were broken.

The fans of King Wuling finally raised their eyebrows: "Haha, although King Wuling is getting married, it's better than being a man, you are worse than us!"

He retorted with satisfaction and said: "Mr. Xie's charm can't even be resisted by men, and it is obviously stronger than King Wuling!"

Sitting in the Changxu Pavilion, Wang Luoxiu listened to Wang Jingzhi talking about Wei Yizhi, but couldn't help thinking of Xie Shu who was sitting here that night.

In the brightly lit place, the man in snow-white clothes was laid out on the table, with a pool of clear water behind him, blooming like a white lotus.

Xie Shu is like the white snow on the top of the mountain, Wei Yizhi is the little cloud in the sky, Wang Jingzhi wants her to look up at the sky, but she always looks at the mountains in the distance.

But, why Xie Shu prefers men...

"I like men?" Xie Shu looked at Mubai and pointed to his nose.

Mubai pouted: "This is not what the subordinate said."

Xie Shu twitched the corners of her mouth, talking nonsense, of course she likes men, but in the eyes of outsiders, she looks masculine.

Alas, the common people must be too idle, there are so many masculine people, why bother to stare at her alone?But thinking about it carefully, such rumors may not be a bad thing, at least for the time being, she can stop thinking about marriage.

"Forget it, let them talk." Xie Shu waved his hand, not caring.

Mubai left the door in dismay, and decided to offer incense to Xie Mingguang.

As soon as the rumors about the prime minister's masculinity came out, the courtiers seemed to be much more sensitive.

The upright minister was deeply terrified and shunned her. Even Wei Yizhi, who had a lot of contacts with her in private, was much colder towards her.

Some felt that the prime minister was handsome and handsome, and he was definitely not a loser as the object of breaking his sleeves, and instead took the initiative to show his favor.

Recently, Xie Shu often saw people flirting with him, and his stomach hurt...

With such an interruption, I almost forgot Chu Lian who caused all this.

Xie Shu discussed matters in the palace until dark before returning home. Guangfu waited at the door of the study, saw her appear, and came forward with a square handkerchief in his hand and said: "My son asked me to give this thing to the prime minister, saying that it was the Leren." For you."

Xie Shu hurriedly took it over, and opened the veil. Inside was a hemp rope, wound in a circle, and adorned with an animal tooth, which had turned yellow, and the tip had been worn smooth.

She was stunned on the spot, and finally remembered who Chu Lian was.

The boy who took her everywhere to find food, went down the river to fish, and went up the mountain to dig for vegetables, has always been inseparable.

Once he found a tooth from nowhere, put it on a rope, and showed it to Xie Shu triumphantly: "Ruyi, do you know what it is? It's a tiger tooth!" His name is Huya.

Xie Shu's eyes widened: "Where did you get it?"

"Don't tell you!"

A group of them often go out together, according to Huya's arrangement, and they often stay together and move separately. When the time is up, they will return to the original place to meet and go home together.

Huya takes Xie Shu with him every time, and if he doesn't accompany her occasionally, there must be something awkward.Usually at this time, the food Xie Shu finds is more than half less than usual. When Huya returns, he will share some of his share with her, and the two reconcile as before.

The others clamored, "Huya must have taken a fancy to Ruyi, he's partial every time!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Huya scolded them with a blushing face. He was the oldest and no one was as good as him.

There was one less partner who made fun of them later.

Xie Shu asked Huya, "Where did she go?"

"It must have been sold." Huya touched the hemp rope around his neck, staring into the distance in ecstasy.

Later, there were fewer and fewer partners.

"Maybe it will be my turn next." Xie Shu said to him while digging wild vegetables: "My mother will definitely not sell me, but the food is getting less and less, and sooner or later I will starve to death."

Huya patted her head: "No, I'm here."

Xie Shu was not a pessimistic person. He smiled at him and said, "I'm just joking. My mother said that my earlobe is big, and I am blessed. Don't worry, I will never forget you when I am blessed."

Huya patted his thigh and said: "No wonder the old man who beat the dog said that the dog is rich and the crow forgets."

"What kind of dog is a crow!" Xie Shu suddenly recalled: "Actually, you wear dog teeth around your neck, right?"

Huya's face turned red: "What nonsense, it's Huya!"

Xie Shu laughed.

The famine finally spread to farther places. The lotus roots could not be stolen, all the wild vegetables were dug up, and even the bark of the trees was peeled off.

Xie Shu heard people say that some villages ate people, and was so frightened that he didn't sleep well all night.

Huya came to her and gave her a small bag of rice, his eyes were red.

"How do you have so much rice?" In fact, it was only enough to wrap your hands, but it was really a lot for Xie Shu at that time.

"I usually saved it, and I wanted to give it to my little brother, but he didn't make it through..." He wiped his eyes: "My father is going to sell me, I won't give them the rice, I'll give it to you!"

Xie Shu gave way in a panic: "How can I do that, give it to me, what will your family eat?"

"They will buy it with the money I sold!" Huya turned around and left angrily, walked a few steps, turned back, and grabbed her hand: "When I save enough money to redeem myself, I will definitely come to find you. your."

Xie Shu lowered his head and stared at the cracked ground: "Yes."

If there is a day to meet again...

Xie Shu gripped that tooth tightly, and asked Guangfu, "Where's that musician?"

"Back to the prime minister, the young master has sent Le Ren outside the Dongli Gate, saying that he will deal with it himself."

Xie Shu's face changed suddenly: "Mubai, go and chase him back!"

It was rainy in summer, and just after a thunderstorm, the pouring rain fell.

The men and horses of Xiang's mansion beat their horses and went straight to the city gate. The horses' hooves kicked up the rain and splashed it in all directions.

To go to Dongli Gate, one must cross Qingxi, Wei Yizhi just arrived at the gate of the mansion, was about to get off the car, when he saw Mubai leading a horse on horseback in the rain, and galloped straight ahead.

"Fu Xuan, follow me to see what's going on."

Xie Shu sat in the study, looking at the tooth.

Apart from him, Xie Ranruo really has no future troubles. Xie Mingguang has taught her for so long, but she still hasn't learned the lesson.

It's just that it's wrong to ignore the life-saving grace of half a bag of rice, so how can it harm him in turn?

She unfolded a notebook and took up a pen to write the memorial.

Wei Yizhi held the scroll and sat under the lamp, Fu Xuan came in and whispered something in his ear, and he put down the book: "Did you see clearly?"

"Yes. Mr. Ran took that Le Ren out of the city, he must be sent away to preserve the reputation of the Prime Minister. But the Prime Minister is so concerned about this Le Ren, I'm afraid the rumors outside are true."

Wei Yizhi smiled, he never believed in rumors, he only believed in facts.

"Go and tell the prime minister that my mother's birthday is coming up, and the mansion lacks a musician among the actors. This king wants to use that musician to come to the mansion to play and celebrate."
