Chapter 21 Xiaocao saves the king?

Hua Mu led the flowers and plants to buy some pastries and other gadgets on the street as gifts to Xuanyuan Yun's mansion.In fact, the reason why he agreed to Xuanyuan Yun's invitation was because he felt that Xuanyuan Yun invited him every time, and he came to his residence many times, which was considered as a favor for the last time.

"Brother, do you think it accepts credit cards here?" Huacao said suddenly, the things on this street are quite interesting.

"...If there is a credit card machine, you can try it." Hua Mu was used to the intermittent drafts of flowers and plants.

"Brother, let me go shopping. You can go to the Prince Hui's Mansion by yourself first." Huacao said, he likes to go shopping, let alone such a real pure ancient street, but his elder brother doesn't like it.

"Be careful yourself, this place is not as good as home, don't transfer the money for a long time, the palace is still a little far away from here." Hua Mu confessed.

"I'll call if I get lost!"

"This is a horse-drawn carriage, and they all went to the north city. When you get to the place where the horse-drawn carriage is rented and sold, you have already arrived at the palace." Hua Mu said, her younger brother was normal when he was normal, but... …

"Brother has more and more sense of humor now. It's great. This way, Mom has another person to deceive." Huacao laughed, is this the power of love?

"..."

Huacao took the purse filled by his elder brother and happily prepared to sweep the street. Collecting strange things is Huacao's hobby. I don't know if the stack of silver notes given by elder brother can be moved like antique shops. Do not go back.Because of the cooperation with Xuanyuan Yun, Hua Mu has become richer, so the money for Huacao is not stingy at all.

"Second brother is so generous, this is spending money like dirt." The prince was dressed in casual clothes in this well-known antique calligraphy and painting shop in Beijing, and the person he was talking about was the virtuous king.

"Brother, what a coincidence, I met you again, what do you like, brother?" Xuanyuanpu directly avoided the prince's question. It will be Master Xiao's [-]th birthday in a few days. However, as the emperor's teacher once, and there are many disciples, he is still very talkable in the court.Lord Xiao liked Xuanyuanpu, so this time Xuanyuanpu was going to do what he liked and give Master Xiao a calligraphy and painting by the master.

"Second brother, it's not the elder brother who wants to criticize you. Even the Holy Majesty advocates frugality during the time of uprightness and troubles. It's really chilling for you to do so." The prince put several big hats on Xuanyuanpu in words.

"I've heard that there have been rumors of corruption and bribery in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials recently, has the second son heard of it?" said a standard lackey under the crown prince, who is also a rich man.

"Young master Zhang, although you are young and not in the court, you should be cautious in your words and deeds under the emperor's feet." Xuanyuan Pu said very gently, just like educating a younger brother who speaks lies.On such a topic, the more debates there are, the more unstoppable it is.

"I've also heard about it, but I didn't really think about it, but seeing my second younger brother like this today, my eldest brother feels..." The prince smiled fakely, with very malicious intentions.Many things, as long as there is a fuse, they can be debated in the court. The final result is not important, it is just that one such debate can discredit people.

"Let me tell you, everyone, are you talking about family affairs or state affairs? Brother, I have read the name of this store several times when I go in and out, and it is still not bad. Is it an antique shop or a teahouse?" Huacao interrupted suddenly. After listening for a while, I figured it out. As for Xuanyuanpu's identity, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry, he met the boss of the Ministry of Industry. This "second younger brother" who is smiling but not smiling must be the virtuous king in charge of the Ministry of Officials. up.For the sake of his brother and his suitor(?), he decided to help him.

"Who are you, in a hurry..."

"Ahem..." The crown prince interrupted his basic words, the superficial identity of the public is really not good.

"I'm just a scholar, but I see that you guys have such a good temperament. It's fine to talk about state affairs openly in the public. This kid even made wild guesses about officials accepting bribes. According to the decree promulgated in the 21st year, anyone who makes false comments Those who are ordered by the imperial court will be given fifty sticks for the light ones, and exile in the desert for the serious ones, or even die. I am afraid that you are not ordinary people, so is it really okay to talk like this?" Huacao said, and it only took a few days for him to put Xuanyuan Kingdom The various laws are familiar with, um, professional customs.

"Young Master is right, I'm going to lie." After the prince finished speaking, he glanced at the flowers and plants resentfully, and then led the people away.The prince was born in the royal family anyway, and he is not an idiot. Although he is a little stingy, suspicious, and narrow-minded, he can still maintain his demeanor in front of outsiders.

"This son is very capable, and he is familiar with the laws and regulations of my Xuanyuan Kingdom." Xuanyuan Pu said.

"I also know that Emperor Shengzu once promulgated a decree that anyone who is an official in the court should not be greedy for antique calligraphy and painting, play with his ambitions, buy antique calligraphy and painting at a high price, or fine him a salary of one year; those who accept bribes for antique calligraphy and painting will lose their official positions and will never be hired. "Huacao continued, it had just opened at that time, and the laws and regulations were very strict, but after a hundred years, they gradually faded away, and the enforcement of these laws and regulations promulgated at that time was not strong enough.

"..." Xuanyuan Yun felt that this person was indeed a talent!But he just stopped by to see if there is anything that can be used as a gift for Mr. Xiao when he went to his younger brother's house today.Well, he will resolutely not show up for such things in the future. If the prince has such a smart person under his command, it will be even more difficult for him to excuse him today.

"Your surname?"

"Since you said your surname, my surname is so valuable, why don't you just exchange it for something equally valuable?" Huacao said, this person is really not enough for three rounds, hey, life is as lonely as snow.

"Your Majesty, can I invite you to sit at the mansion?" Xuanyuanpu didn't mind at all, this man had a haughty speech, but he also had skills, and he would definitely be a genius after being honed in the court.The most important thing is that this person has already offended the prince, if he enters the court, it will be his side.

"Didn't you date your brother?"

"You are the second son of the Hua family, Mr. Hua's younger brother, Huacao?" Xuanyuanpu smiled, not expecting such a coincidence.

"It seems that I guessed correctly." Huacao said.

"I never thought it would be such a coincidence. Brother Tingyun praised you repeatedly when he mentioned you. Seeing you today, Brother Yun is really true. Since we met by chance, the second son will come with me to Brother Yun's place?" Xuanyuan Pu praised, it would be better if this is someone from his side.And since Huacao had already guessed her identity just now, the words she said to the prince and the others might also be a relief for herself.No wonder, how could someone who looked like a scholar be so presumptuous in the capital.

"You go first, I still have to go shopping." Huacao said.

"Second Young Master is also coming to the capital for the first time, no matter what, I will do my best as a landlord and take Second Young Master to have a look." Xuanyuan Pu said, he has always been magnanimous to capable people.Moreover, the two brothers of the Hua family are really attractive, and the temperament they exude is really hard to hate.

"Speaking of which, the autumn exam is coming soon. Is it really suitable for you to associate with someone who looks like a scholar? According to the laws of Xuanyuan Kingdom, the prince and the reference students are too busy, the prince will be banned for three months, and the students will be deprived. Punishment for its qualifications for the exam." Huacao said, this is basically a decree that has never been used.

"Did the second son come to the capital for reference?" Xuanyuanpu laughed, he didn't believe that this person would commit himself to the officialdom, or through the examination method.

"If so, I'm afraid I've already ruined my future and offended those nobles. How can I, a little scholar, gain a foothold in the court?" Huacao laughed.

"Second Young Master is familiar with the laws and regulations of our court, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to wear small shoes for Second Young Master." Xuanyuan Pu felt that such a person was really difficult for ordinary people to deal with.

The two of them talked for a while without saying a word. With such an existence looking for people's eyes, the flowers and plants were no longer in the mood to wander around, and the two went back to the palace together.

"His Royal Highness, are you alright?" Hua Mu's first words were when he saw the two of them coming in together.

The author has something to say: Don’t they all talk about technology nerds?No matter what, my Xiaocao has to be a technical poisonous tongue, isn't it~!

In other words, I know a soft girl who studies justice, she is really amazing!
