Chapter 408

"Confucius, Confucius, have you ever heard of it?"

"...." Cai Jin narrowed her eyes and showed a very confused look.

This doubt did not mean that she would not know who Confucius was.

But——

How on earth did Mr. Xu come up with such a joke that people can't laugh at?

"OK, I won't tell you more." Xu Yun was afraid that the other party would enter the kitchen again. He got up in the gap, brushed his sleeves, turned and left: "I have to go back and take a nap."

Looking at Xu Yun out of the pavilion, Cai Jin sighed slightly.

She's really curious.

……

Xu Mingyi's claim that he still has something to go out is not all an excuse. Instead, he did make an appointment with Wu Cui to meet at Xuesheng teahouse at Shenshi in the afternoon.

When she arrived, Wu Tsung was already waiting for her in their usual seat.

"I stopped eating lunch and thought it was still early, so I went to the second uncle's garden to drink tea. Unexpectedly, the tea not only didn't refresh me, but made me sleep." Xu Mingyi sat down opposite him and said, "it's late, but I've told you to wait a long time?"

"I've just arrived." Wu Tsung's tone was mild. He lifted the teapot and filled the tea lamp for seven minutes. The teapot put down and pushed the tea lamp in front of her. The simple action was as pleasing to the eyes as flowing clouds and flowing water under his hands.

"Try this refreshing or not," he said.

Xu Mingyi took a sip of tea and nodded seriously: "well, it's really refreshing. It makes people feel refreshed and clear in the seven orifices."

Wu Tsui smiled at the bottom of his eyes.

"I came to you today because I have something to tell you." Xu Mingyi quickly got to the point.

Wu Tsung looked at her: "what's the matter?"

"At the Empress Dowager's birthday party the day before yesterday, I took ah Kui to the Yuxiu palace of Princess Jing. Do you remember that?"

Wu Tsung nodded.

"I met the Xuanqing national teacher in Yuxiu palace." Xu Mingyi lowered his voice a little, coughed and said, "I asked him to do something for me by your name -"

The night before yesterday in the Pingqing Museum, she had planned to explain to Wu Tsui, but she didn't find a suitable opportunity.

National teacher?

Wu Chiu was slightly stunned when he heard the speech - he almost forgot that there was such a person.

When I remember, I just nodded.

"... don't you ask me what I asked him to do?" Xu Mingyi looked at the calm young man and couldn't help asking.

Wu Tsung asked, "is it difficult? What can I do?"

He thought that since he wanted to tell him now, it was mostly a small matter, so he didn't hurry to ask more questions.

"..." Xu Mingyi couldn't help feeling that this man's head seemed very different from ordinary people.

Her original intention was: "it's not so difficult - but aren't you afraid I'll get into trouble under your name?"

Although she has always acted in a consistent manner, she is still measured.

Get into trouble under his name?

The boy's eyes overflowed with a real smile: "I'd love it."

He had never had a chance to do good for her. At this point, he secretly envied the Duke of Zhenguo more than once.

For these smiling eyes, Xu Mingyi was rarely uncomfortable, but he didn't hide his smile. He thought of his dream in the garden, so his eyes were particularly frank and said, "then I really want to thank you for your kindness."

Wu Tsung looked at her, and vaguely felt that what she said seemed to be more than just this matter.

Is something else happening?

The girl didn't give him the chance to think more, and then said, "this matter is not big or small, it's related to Zhan Yunzhu..."

Xu Mingyi roughly repeated the conversation with the national teacher that night.

Wu Chiu nodded and said, "this method is feasible. Even if the Emperor may not believe it all, or will not immediately dislike this person, he will certainly have a grudge in his heart --"

Once the mustard is born, it will be easier to deal with it in the future.

"Well, that's what I think." Xu Mingyi put down his tea lamp and said, "there's another thing. It's said that Shang Shuzheng of the Ministry of rites is going to propose to go to the imperial mausoleum with the emperor to offer sacrifices to the former Emperor while several princes are in Beijing."

"Offering sacrifices to ancestors?" Wu Tsung thought for a moment, then asked, "where did you get the news?"

He didn't seem to have heard anything.

"This is what Mrs. Wen, the wife of the Minister of rites, said personally. It must not be wrong." seeing his confusion, Xu Mingyi said: "sometimes, the information on the card table in the back house is as good as that of a spy."

After hearing this, Wu TSUO felt that he had touched the blind spot of cognition.

But I can't help but feel a little awe for my future mother-in-law's horse hanging.

He thought and said, "if the Minister of rites seriously proposed this matter, all the literary Ministers must agree. At that time, the emperor can only nod -"

The three princes have not returned to Beijing to worship their ancestors for many years. The Ministry of Rites has made this proposal. It is reasonable to start from the filial piety ritual system. The emperor has no reason to refuse.

However, the regulations on ancestor worship are cumbersome. The imperial mausoleum is at the foot of Lingshan mountain 300 miles away from the capital. In this way, several princes say they will stay in the capital for another half a month.

A few days ago, several princes had gone to the imperial temple to offer sacrifices. They didn't have to go to the imperial mausoleum in person.

But if the book of rites is mentioned, it will be impossible to go.

Therefore, the Shangshu adult really abides by the etiquette system, but he is really not afraid that the emperor can't sleep.

"Will you go there?" Xu Mingyi asked.

Wu Tsui thought for a moment and said, "maybe I'm going."

Although the prince offered sacrifices to his ancestors, the emperor must also go in person. According to regulations, there must be royal relatives and ministers.

Although he was apparently not from the Xie family, he was a grandson of the Wu family and the Queen's nephew. Since he was in Beijing, he probably needed to go with him.

However, he is not an important person in the end. He is just a carry on. Even if he finds an excuse not to go, no one will care.

In a word, you can go or not.

"If you have a chance, you'd better go with me," Xu Mingyi said.

Wu tsugamushu looked at her suspiciously, thinking that there must be a reason for her to say so, so he waited for her to go on.

In the sight, the girl said in a low voice, "I've always had a dream recently..."

“……？”

Wu Tsung felt cold in his back.

I don't know who's going to have bad luck this time?

……

The next day, the Minister of rites mentioned in the early dynasty that several princes who had not returned to Beijing for a long time should go to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors.

Several Bachelor of Arts stood up and echoed.

Zuo Du imperial Shi Mingxiao, also known as secondment.

Ji Xiu's scalp felt numb.

These old folks who stick to etiquette are really dying - what good thing is it that King Yan stays in Beijing for a long time?

Take another look at the emperor who gently nodded his head in the face of this proposal. Ji Xiu silently sympathized with him.
