"I'm angry, I'm angry! I'm angry!"
Tao Yao raised his arms high, his face was red, blowing his beard and staring: "You are such a sharp-tongued braggart, I...I..."
The prince was extremely excited.
I'm anxious, this old man is anxious.
Tao Yao was defeated in the end.
It wasn't because of insufficient education, but because he underestimated Chu Qing, and the other reason was lack of experience. He never thought that a young man would dare to argue with him like this, and it was all "wrong reasoning".
Under what circumstances would a scholar take action? That is when it was impossible to explain. Therefore, when Tao Yao was defeated and the news spread, it no longer mattered whether Chu Qing plagiarized or not. What mattered was that he, Tao Yao , the prince's young master lost face greatly, became angry and wanted to take action.
"This... Mr. Chu?"
Tao Zhongyuan, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth, his voice full of teasing.
"Since Mr. Chu is so talented, why did he go to the Tao Mansion to propose marriage a few days ago? This little girl is not talented and has not been proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, but she can win the favor of the Mr. Chu. Unfortunately, my father rejected you. Even The little girl also looks down upon you... quite a bit."
Chu Qing was slightly startled and understood what the other party meant.
Before, I licked my face and asked for marriage, but then, the Tao family didn't take a liking to me.
First of all, Tao Zhongyuan belittled herself, saying that she was not good at poetry, calligraphy and painting. Even so, she still did not like Chu Qing.
It was a bit of a sneaky change of concept, but it did help his father regain his position, mainly by diverting his attention.
"You want to marry me, I want to ask..." Tao Zhongyuan still had that harmless smile: "Are you worthy?"
"Do you deserve it?" Chu Qing took a step back with an exaggerated expression: "Here?"
Tao Zhongyuan looked confused.
The prince laughed loudly, and Changxian also reacted. He let out a chuckle and quickly turned his head.
"You must have misunderstood, asking for marriage..." Chu Qing clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I dare to ask Miss Tao, your Tao family, it can be seen that the student brought eight large sedan chairs?"
"You are just asking for marriage, why..."
Chu Qing interrupted coldly: "Did you see that the student brought a lot of money, or that the student brought a matchmaker, or that he left Liupin?"
"This girl said, you are just..."
"No, Miss Tao misunderstood." Chu Qing bowed his hand: "The eight-carriage sedan is carrying a lady from all over the world. He spends a lot of money to beg for a wife. What he wants is a perfect body. The matchmaker is marrying, and he is marrying a virtuous and virtuous woman. The three matchmakers are six Hi, I hired someone who is knowledgeable and sensible. The student just went to visit Tao Mansion and did not ask for marriage. I don’t know where Miss Tao got her confidence. She thought that everyone who entered your Tao Mansion was asking for marriage. Do you think you are... Oh, I asked you to marry me, Tao. Girl, you..."
The word "is it worthy?" was not spoken, but Chu Qing's expression, tone, and joking expression made it self-evident.
"Master Tao, Miss Tao, students have important matters to attend to. Please take your leave!"
After finishing his words, Chu Qing saluted the two princes again, then turned and walked away.
Prince Chang Yu's eyes widened, his expression full of admiration.
The Tao family father and daughter were both ashamed and angry, especially Tao Zhongyuan, who clenched her silver teeth so hard that they were "humiliated" in front of the prince. She wanted to cut Chu Qing into pieces to relieve her hatred. .
Chu Qing left, and the five people in the room had different expressions.
Tong Gui, who had been watching the excitement, was dumbfounded. This was the first time he had seen Tao Yao lose his temper like this. It was obvious that he couldn't explain it, and he was so angry that he was ready to take action.
The second prince Changxian smiled bitterly.
Prince Chang Yu's eyes shone brightly and he stared at Tao Yao closely, feeling extremely satisfied in his heart.
Tao Yao blew his beard and stared, his chest heaving.
Tao Zhongyuan clenched her pink fist tightly. If hatred could be exchanged for silver notes, Chu Qing could build another palace for Huang Laosi now.
"This boy..." Tao Yao said in a serious tone: "This boy must have stolen someone's knowledge. I, I will definitely expose his hypocrisy and ruin his reputation!"
Lao Tao was obviously furious. Chu Qing... was there still room for his reputation to be ruined?
Tao Zhongyuan suddenly turned around. In an instant, there were tears in his eyes, and he looked at Chang Yu with tears in his eyes.
"Your Highness..." Tao Zhongyuan looked aggrieved: "Your Highness, that person humiliated me."
Chang Yu nodded stupidly: "I saw it."
"Your Highness, Your Highness is helping others vent their anger."
Chang Yu laughed and said: "The dispute over knowledge is just a dispute over knowledge."
"You..." Tao Zhongyuan stamped her foot, feeling ashamed and angry.
Changxian glanced sideways at Tao Zhongyuan, his expression a bit wary.
The sky was sunny, the heavy rain came and went quickly, and the sun was shining brightly, just like Chu Qing's mood.
Walking in the palace, Chu Qing's steps were light, and the anger and frustration in his chest for many days were swept away.
What could be more stress-relieving than Tao Yao, the mastermind of the Tao family, who was so angry that he wanted to take action.
Chu Qing was not worried at all, not worried about the Tao family's revenge on him.
If any Tao family member wants to take revenge on him, he will spread the news and blackmail Tao Yao to death.
Of course, he didn't think the Tao family were fools who would take the initiative to publicize this matter. He wouldn't be afraid even if they gave him small shoes. Anyway, he just wanted to go to hell.
When walking in the world, the most fearful thing is losing face. Chu Qing feels that he has initially acquired this necessary ability.
From the Taowu Hall ruins, noisy sounds were heard again. After the rain stopped, farmers rushed over to continue working as soon as possible.
Looking at the bankers, Chu Qing suddenly felt strange.
Just now, Tao Yao was so angry that he humiliated the young lady of the Tao family, and now he is using the Tao family's bankers to work.
Chu Qing felt even better and yelled: "Work hard for me to bring back the progress of the project!"
At the same time, Tong Gui just ran into the Jingyi Hall.
How could everything that happened in the palace be hidden from the eyes of the emperor, let alone the fact that it concerned the prince.
Tong Gui knelt on one knee, not daring to hide anything, and told the whole story.
Not saying no, Tao Yao went on strike and left Yangyi Hall angrily. He also said that "evidence" must be found, which roughly meant that it must be proven that Chu Qing had stolen other people's knowledge and was pretending to be fake.
However, it can also be seen from this that the old man still has the paranoia of a scholar. He did not say that he was looking for someone to kill Chu Qing, but only said that he was looking for "evidence."
Unfortunately, there is no knowledge about quantum mechanics in the Four Books and Five Classics, and the old man cannot build a time travel machine to find evidence in later generations.
Sun An was stunned for a moment while listening.
This Mr. Chu actually made the prince's young master speechless and almost made a move?
Huang Laosi, on the other hand, had no expression on his face. After hearing the whole story, he remained silent.
"Your Majesty." Tong Gui raised his head and glanced at Huang Laosi's expression: "When Mr. Tao left, he beat his chest and stamped his feet. He was probably very angry. Although he was supported by the young lady of the Tao family, he still staggered..."
The implication is that this old man is quite old and not in good health. He is so angry all of a sudden. If he is not walking in the palace of death, should he send an imperial doctor to take a look or let the eunuch comfort him on behalf of the emperor.
Sun An is obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem. Tao Yao is the head of the Tao family. He has many peaches and plums all over the world. Every one of the civil servants admires him, at least on the surface. If this matter spreads out, Well, the emperor hasn't spoken out for Tao Yao yet, I don't know what Shilin wants to think.
"Your Majesty, if not, I will go to Tao Mansion..."
Huang Laosi finally spoke. He shook his head first, and then uttered four words expressionlessly—a battle of knowledge!
Sun An was stunned for a moment, then a look of understanding appeared on his face.
Yes, it was a dispute over knowledge. Tao Yao thought Chu Qing was uneducated and incompetent.
But is this really the case? People can make horseshoes, nose rings, write poems and lyrics, and now they speak knowledge, so naturally they are not plagiarizing.
Since they are knowledgeable themselves and you, Tao Yao, have never competed with them, why should they help you?
Thinking of this, Sun An burst into laughter.
This Mr. Chu is really as your Majesty said, he is a wonderful and interesting person. The reason why he was misunderstood by Tao Yao is because of his style. Just like in Qizhen Pavilion and Zuilai Tower, he left The eternal sayings are faked by others, but they don't care about the false reputation. Perhaps it is for this reason that they are "misunderstood" by the world.
Huang Laosi continued to approve the memorial and said softly: "Go and tell the prince, if he keeps messing around, I will skin him."
Tong Gui responded with "Wei" and walked backwards out of the palace.
As soon as they left, Huang Laosi looked up at the old eunuch.
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs..." Huang Laosi asked uncertainly: "Given its name, I'm afraid it's hard to be considered elegant."
Sun An nodded: "Old slave, I think so too, it's an eyesore."
Huang Laosi fell into silence again.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, just hearing the name is very attractive. I don’t know if that kid will tell me in the future that this princess’s physique is... quite good.
