Ying Wu asked the waiter waiting outside to clean up all the leftovers on the table, asked Mr. Chi Ge and Xue Shi Fei about their tastes, ordered a few more dishes according to their preferences, and then gave them to the others who were already full. Ordered some fruits and refreshments.
In order to prevent anyone from breaking in, Bai Meng simply occupied the entire restaurant and no one was allowed in or out except his own people. After obtaining Wu Qingruo's consent, he sent Shadow to deliver a message to the palace. If the prince came out of the palace and it was not over yet, he would directly invite the prince to the restaurant.
The shopkeeper never expected that he would open a non-restaurant on a whim and entertain such a group of big shots, so he was even more cautious. If something went wrong with these big shots in his restaurant, his whole family would be in trouble. The lives of ten people are in danger. Of course, if the reception is good and these big shots are satisfied, the business in the future will definitely be unimaginably prosperous.
The new meals, fruits and refreshments were quickly delivered. After spending a long time in Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, Mr. Chi Ge and Mr. Fei felt hungry. They thanked Song Jue and sat down to eat. .
Although having dinner with Wu Qingruo at the same table made Mr. Chi Ge very awkward, in order to prevent himself from losing his temper in front of Song Jue, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he could only endure it.
Wu Qingruo glanced at Mr. Chi Ge who was chewing slowly, snorted, and turned to look at Jin Miaomiao.
"What can Chenchen eat here?" He pointed to the fruit in front of him, "Is there anything I should avoid?"
"It doesn't matter, you can eat a little, just don't eat too much." Jin Miaomiao smiled at His Highness Prince Ning, "Did you sleep well these two days?"
"Well, it's really good to say that I haven't had nightmares for many days, and I haven't woken up from my dreams." His Highness Prince Ning picked up an orange and took a bite. "You still have that medicine. Effective.”
"Uncle Wang's recipe, I have used it before, and the effect is very good." Shen Cha looked at the fruits on the plate, took a piece of honeydew melon, and took a bite, "If you stick to it for at least a year, there will be great results." improve."
"Maybe I can't persist in other things, but I am still very confident that I can persist in taking medicine." His Highness Prince Ning sighed faintly. He looked at Song Jue. The uncle and nephew exchanged glances, somewhat As for Song Jue, it might not be convenient for him to ask, so he would naturally do it for him. He looked at Mr. Chige, then at Bachelor Fei, and asked, "Sir, is this incident a joint effort between the three academies and the Hanlin Academy?"
"That's it!" Fei Xueshi spoke before Mr. Chi Ge. He asked Master to continue eating and put down the chopsticks in his hand. "Originally, we didn't want to make trouble like this. It was considered a last resort. If they were not so showy. , gentlemen will not argue with them. After all, those are gentlemen's discarded manuscripts. If they like it, it is no big deal to use them. Gentlemen have said before that these foreign scholars have nothing in Xijing City. Basically, it is indeed very difficult to live solely on monthly salary. It is not a big deal if you want to sell a few poetry books to support your family. You can just turn a blind eye or close one eye and pretend you don't see it. .”
"But what?" Song Jue took a sip of the soup in front of him, his eyes lit up, he took a bowl and pushed it in front of Shen Cha, "It's delicious, try it." Seeing that Shen Cha took two sips, he said it was very suitable for him. He continued to stare at Bachelor Fei, "Scholar Fei must say but, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Academician Fei nodded, "But they are too arrogant. They really think that they are talented and knowledgeable. They don't take other people seriously at all. What they are told to do has never been done. Finish it well and say that you have more important things to do.”
"This is not the key point. The key point is that those children who are still studying in the academy have already received a great impact."
"Has someone begun to imitate them and do evil things?" Seeing Mr. Chi Ge and Academician Fei nodding, Song Jue sneered, "Do you have a list?"
"Yes!" Academician Fei nodded, "Although the number is small, the impact is not good. These children do not have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. If such a bad trend is allowed to spread in the academy, other children will slowly follow suit. Affected, they will also think that studying hard is of no use and cannot get them anything they want, so it is better to take a shortcut and perhaps achieve their goals quickly."
"Besides, it's not long before the big exam, and students from other places are about to enter Beijing. We are worried that if we don't deal with it in time, it will lead to a big disaster." Chige Lao was seventy-eighty percent full after eating, and put down his hands. He put the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "That's why we came up with such an idea, but we didn't expect that it would cause uproar in the city and even His Majesty would be alarmed."
"It's nothing. The bigger the noise, the better. It will scare the monkeys and let those children who want to use their evil ideas but don't remember to implement it see what will happen if they don't learn well. This is a good thing. It's just..." Song Jue He raised his eyebrows slightly, "It doesn't have to be like this, right? In fact, there is a simpler and more convenient way!
"Catch him and give him a beating." Wu Qingruo agreed with Song Jue's words, "If you are still not honest, you can give him a couple of beatings."
"This... is too rude. They are scholars after all, so they should save some face."
"Haha!" Wu Qingruo sneered and looked at Mr. Chi Ge with contempt, "You scholars are really very particular. Plagiarism is shameless!"
"you!"
"What's wrong with me? Isn't this the truth?" Wu Qingruo showed no mercy to Chige Lao, "Although this incident was set up by you, it also let others see the incompetence of your Imperial College and Hanlin Academy. . The Hanlin Academy cannot manage its own Hanlin, and the Imperial College cannot manage its own students. They can only use this method of publicizing their family scandals to warn those who have so-called bad thoughts, and also use the hands of others to punish them. ." The sneer on his face deepened, "Old man Chi, after so many years, you haven't made any progress at all. You are still like this. You should be the good guy yourself, and leave the bad guys to others."
"Your Majesty, don't spit on anyone!"
"Really?" Wu Qingruo put away the sneer on his face and looked at Mr. Chi Ge expressionlessly, "You said you won't save them face by beating them, right?"
"That's right!"
"Then why didn't you plead for them when the commander-in-chief punished them? Why didn't you say that they were scholars and shouldn't be humiliated like this in public?"
"because……"
"Because this order was not given by you. It was the commander-in-chief's wish, or His Majesty's wish. Even if they think back in the future and want to bear grudge against someone, they will not bear the grudge against you, right?"
