Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 134 You Will Know Later

The tea aroma faded for a long time before Xu Yuan finally spoke: "But I don't want to cause trouble."

Xu Yuan does not want to become a person who can help the country.

She just wants to overturn the verdict and get revenge.

She just wants her family to be safe and sound.

Other than that, she had no other thoughts.

Shen Yichuan sighed, but didn't say anything in the end, and said, "It's up to you."

Poetry writing is done in a time limit.

At the same time, the poems must be submitted within the specified time, and then a special person will evaluate them and finally select a winner.

Poetry readings are held every month, so the process is very quick.

Xuyuan was not in a hurry to leave, but waited patiently.

On the other side, after Qi Shengzhu handed the letter back, he asked, "Brother, who do you think will be the leader today?"

There are poetry readings every year.

There are familiar faces and unfamiliar ones.

There weren't many children from aristocratic families in the capital who participated; most of them just came to watch the fun.

Others come to place bets on who will win.

This kind of gambling is done once a month with low stakes and is just for fun, so not many people participate.

Like Qi Shengzhu, many people were also discussing who would be the champion today.

Qi Shengxin said, looked around, and when he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a figure and changed his words: "Today, I really can't say for sure."

Private room on the second floor.

The carved wooden door slowly opened, and the maid walked behind Shen Yichuan and whispered, "Sir, Young Master Song wants to see you."

"Song Xiuwen?" Shen Yichuan raised his eyebrows and looked back.

Hearing the three words "Song Xiuwen", Xu Yuan was also stunned.

Song Xiuwen, the legitimate son of the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

A man of both civil and military talents.

Song Tianben was not born a military general, so he did not require his eldest son to learn martial arts.

Song Xiuwen is also one of the talented people in the capital.

Although he is slightly inferior to Shen Yichuan and Qi Shengxin, he is also an absolute talent.

In his previous life, Song Xiuwen did not pursue a career in officialdom, but instead picked up a spear and went to the battlefield.

Therefore, Xu Yuan did not have much interaction with Song Xiuwen and had only heard of his name.

Song Xiuwen doesn't like attending poetry gatherings. Why did he come here today?

Will you help Song Xiuyue?

The silence didn't last long, Shen Yichuan said: "Please."

The carved wooden door opened.

At the same time, the people who were betting downstairs also started talking.

"The eldest son of the Song family is here too? The leader of today's poetry gathering must be this eldest son of the Song family!"

"I think the man who went to Mr. Shen's private room should also be a man of real talent and learning. I wonder who will be better between the two of them."

"I can't tell. I really can't tell."

……

Xu Yuan could not hear the sound of betting below. She stood up with Shen Yichuan and watched Song Xiuwen coming over.

Before they arrived at the private room, Song Xiuwen glanced at Shen Yichuan, then at Xu Yuan, and said, "I heard that my younger sister spoke rudely today. I am sorry for interrupting you, Master Xu."

"Mr. Song, you're welcome."

Xu Yuan smiled and disagreed.

She didn't believe that Song Xiuwen really came to apologize.

I’m afraid the apology is fake and the investigation is real.

After hearing Xu Yuan's polite words, Song Xiuwen looked at Shen Yichuan again and said calmly, "I heard that my sister is in Sishui County and has received guidance from Master Shen. I haven't thanked Master Shen yet."

"You are really embarrassing me when you say this."

Shen Yichuan walked up to Song Xiuwen, smiled, and said, "Mr. Xu, you came here today not just for this matter, right? Honest people don't speak in secret, just speak frankly."

"It's really nothing, I just want to see who is the leader today."

After Song Xiuwen finished speaking, his eyes fell on Xu Yuan, and he looked a little colder, "I would also like to invite Master Xu to the Song Mansion to sit down and reminisce about the past."

"What is there for him and the Song family to reminisce about?"

Shen Yichuan smiled lightly, "Mr. Song, are you planning to force me to do something?"

"It's just a greeting, Shen Yichuan, aren't you meddling too much?" Song Xiuwen asked back, his tone a little impatient, but his eyes were always on Xu Yuan, never moving an inch.

"Make a wish, are you going to refuse such a warm invitation?"

Xu Yuan looked at Song Xiuwen and remained silent for a long time without saying anything.

Just when Shen Yichuan was about to speak again, she said, "Since Mr. Song said that there is an old relationship, then it would be fine to reminisce about the past."

"Are you crazy?" Shen Yichuan shouted angrily.

On the side, Song Xiuwen didn't care about anything, but just bowed and said, "Song will prepare a bed for you."

After that, he said, "Mr. Shen, see you again when you have time."

After Song Xiuwen left, the private room fell into silence.

After a long while, Shen Yichuan was the first to break the silence and said, "I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen someone as stupid as you. Don't you know that Song Xiuwen did it on purpose? Going to the Song family for a banquet is like walking into a tiger's mouth. What are you thinking? Are you so stubborn?"

Shen Yichuan still remembered that the Song family had searched extensively at the Buddha Temple two days ago for the person who had stolen Song Xiujing's bracelet.

Their goal is to make a wish.

Now, the wish has been delivered to people’s doorsteps.

How could he not be annoyed?

"They will be in conflict sooner or later anyway. Today I stood up for Song Xiujing. If I don't go, I'm afraid she will be the one who gets embarrassed."

Shen Yichuan smiled, but his tone was a little bad: "How come I don't know that you are so kind?"

Shen Yichuan and Xu Yuan have not known each other for long.

But he knew that Xuyuan was not a kind-hearted person.

When it doesn't concern him, he always remains indifferent.

The only people who can make Xu Yuan risk his life for others are probably his relatives.

Therefore, Shen Yichuan never thought that Xu Yuan would help Song Xiujing.

Just like when they first met, he saw Xu Yuan hesitated before choosing to save Song Xiujing.

"This is a bet." Xu Yuan looked at Shen Yichuan, "The reason why you chose to follow the Third Prince is different. I'm betting that Song Xiujing will definitely be able to rise to prominence."

Xuyuan didn’t say the last few words.

But since it has already flown onto the branch, what is the ending?

Only - Phoenix.

Hearing Xu Yuan's hidden meaning, Shen Yichuan said suddenly: "What you said is a bit too bold."

Song Xiujing was going to be the third imperial consort.

As everyone knows, once the third prince gets married, he will leave the capital and go to his fiefdom, Hanzhou.

What does it mean to make a wish?

This means that the third prince Beiyao will rebel.

After saying this, Shen Yichuan couldn't help but think of Bei Yao's confident words in the teahouse.

If she is not a legitimate daughter, let Song Xiujing become the legitimate daughter.

Shen Yichuan believes in Beiyao's abilities and means, which is why he is willing to follow Beiyao.

However, before the final step, who can be sure that the one who ascends the throne will be Bei Yao?

If other people had heard what Xu Yuan said today, he would have been beheaded long ago.

"Whether it is bold or not, you will know later."

Xu Yuan raised his eyes and looked across, Qi Shengxin and Qi Shengzhu were also looking at them.

Xu Yuan said: "Besides, how do you know that I don't have the confidence to escape from the Song family unscathed?"
