Few people would praise him so directly for his good looks, which actually makes people happy.
Unfortunately, being in a good mood doesn't mean you have to compromise. Chen Tang looked at him and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Lin. I don't remember it. We'll see."
He was proud and proud, like the bright summer sun in this spring scenery.
The car drove away, and Lu Guo came out of the cabin and said, "Look, they let the man get away."
"I was wrong," Lin Su said, his hands behind his back as he looked at Bi Bo. "He's also a man of integrity. I should give him a fair fight."
Lu Guo's face was full of questions: "What do you mean?"
"What it means is that he won't bow his head unless he is convinced." Lin Su turned and entered the cabin. People are different, so the way they are treated is naturally different.
[Does the host have any other considerations?] 06 feels that the host is definitely not someone who would act impulsively, especially when he is not sure of another person's feelings.
"There's no need to rush this," Lin Su said without elaborating. "You can now perceive the underlying meaning. It seems we're not far from finding a matching system."
[Host, I am a celibate.] 06 said solemnly.
Although love seems sweet and exchanging data may be very enjoyable, if he encounters a system with too high emotional intelligence like the host, he will definitely not be a match for it. It is better to be single.
Lin Su didn't reveal his thoughts: "I didn't expect you to be such a career-oriented person."
…
As new shops in the capital city sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, the imperial examinations held every three years were just around the corner.
This time point has a great impact. Candidates from all over the country gather in the capital. In the original world line, this is the time when Chen Tang is frantically making money and increasing Yun Hui's fame. Unfortunately, Lin Su has come, and the shops are far better than the Shen family, and Mr. Yangui's fame is more widely spread among the candidates.
Not only did Chen Tang not care about taking the money, he felt like he was about to faint just from fighting with Lin Su.
Yun Hui's imperial examination was approaching, but he had something to tell Xiao Huang. When they met, seeing Chen Tang in such a state, he asked with concern: "Brother Jing Chen should also have a good rest. There is always money to be made."
"Can't lose!" Chen Tang laid on the table, no longer caring about his image. "I don't believe I can't beat him. I wish you, Ziyu, success in the imperial examination."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell asleep.
Yun Hui tentatively helped him straighten up, then spoke about the imperial examination: "This time, we must conduct a thorough investigation. I occasionally heard that someone leaked the exam questions."
This imperial examination cheating case did happen, but before his rebirth, it was done by someone else. He was framed and died in it.
This time, in addition to those villains in his own family, he also wants to use Xiao Huang's hand to pull out those parasites in the court, one for revenge, and the other for serving the country.
"If this matter can be discovered, some treacherous ministers will surely be eliminated." Xiao Huang discussed with him.
When Yun Hui had finished talking about the matter, he left. Xiao Huang patted Chen Tang, who was lying on the table, and said, "Wake up, the person has left."
Chen Tang leaned over the table, his face still covered in red marks. He rubbed it casually and said, "Zi Yu really is on your side."
"Why have you been avoiding him recently?" Xiao Huang asked.
"When he wins the imperial examination, he'll be a true member of the aristocratic family. How can a merchant like me be worthy of him?" Chen Tang said self-deprecatingly. With his ability, he couldn't even protect himself, let alone others. "If you're interested in him, treat him well. Don't scheme against him, and don't let him suffer any injustice."
Xiao Huang's eyes were gloomy: "This is natural, you don't have to worry."
After hearing what he said, Chen Tang felt as if there was a void in his heart, but more importantly, he felt much more relaxed. He no longer had to try to please others deliberately, and he would not feel disappointed when rejected. Besides his parents, no one would interfere with his food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"Then I feel relieved." Chen Tang held up his cheek with a dazed look in his eyes.
Xiao Huang frowned, knocked on the table, and seeing him snap back to reality, he asked, "What's going on with the Shen family? I heard you had a fight with the owner of Yunlaike's shop?"
Chen Tang slapped his forehead to sober himself up: "Yes, there was a fight. The Shen family's restaurant lost, but rice and grain are not something he can easily shake. I have cut off his rations. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice."
It was easy for him to say, but seeing how exhausted he looked, Xiao Huang couldn't possibly be at ease: "Why on earth did it become like this?"
Chen Tang waved his hand and said, "Since he refuses to cooperate, the Shen family has no choice but to accept the challenge."
Xiao Huang looked at his profile and said, "I heard that he was like this because he asked you for a marriage proposal but was rejected."
Chen Tang suddenly looked at his face, and his pupils contracted for a moment. Those who went to the lake with him that day were all his confidants. If Lin Su wanted to spread the news, the whole city would know about it. However, the news did not spread, and Xiao Huang knew it.
Xiao Huang's people are also among his confidants.
"A man from the Shen family can only marry one wife," Chen Tang said lazily, glancing sideways. "Being forced to marry is unmanly, and I don't necessarily think I'll lose."
"A wife's position in exchange for peace in the Shen family and the entire capital," Xiao Huang said with a sullen face, "I'm just marrying her, not asking you to live in harmony with her. Jingchen, you weren't such a willful person before."
Chen Tang's hand under his sleeve suddenly tightened. He had known Xiao Huang for many years and knew that he would weigh the pros and cons and would discard useless things in the end. He used to think that such a thing would never happen to him, but he didn't expect that the royal family seemed to be born with coldness.
This person is indeed the child of the late emperor, and his temperament is exactly the same as that of the late emperor.
"Alas, for the sake of the greater cause, I will stop when I am satisfied," Chen Tang said with a smile, "Don't worry, the Shen family will not be defeated by me. If they are really about to lose, the worst that can happen is that I will marry him then."
Xiao Huang's expression softened a bit, and he patted his shoulder and said, "Jingchen, what I said just now was a bit harsh, but you have to understand that we are in the same boat now. It is not appropriate to make it public at this time to protect the safety of you, me, and the Shen family."
"I understand what you mean," Chen Tang said seriously. He sighed, stretched lazily, and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back first. I still rely on you for this imperial examination."
Xiao Huang stood up and watched him leave. When his back was out of sight, he asked, "Do you think Chen Tang will be obedient?"
"The Shen family is the richest, but His Majesty is also wary of them. Apart from the prince, it's His Majesty. He has no choice." A figure stood behind Xiao Huang and said.
Xiao Huang's lips twitched slightly. "That's right. We should keep a close eye on what Zi Yu said. If this succeeds, we can still take down some people by taking advantage of the situation."
"Yes." The man retreated.
Chen Tang looked normal after leaving Prince Chen's Mansion. It was not until he got on the carriage and closed the door that he covered his mouth and nose and felt like retching.
