Chapter 536 The Suspicious Fat Shopkeeper
“Mo Huating!” Yan Huaijing said with a smile.
“Mo Huating?” Wei Yuewu frowned, becoming more and more jealous of this Marquis Jing Yuan, it seemed that he was involved in many things, “He has a good personal relationship with Xie Qing Zhao?”
“He and Xie Qingzhao are not familiar with each other, moreover, one for literature and one for martial arts, one is a disciple of a humble family, and one is a son of a family, and in the past, there was not much interaction, and the two were almost irrelevant, which is why Mo Huating recommended Xie Qingzhao, and that’s why it was a one-shot deal.” Yan Huaijing laughed meaningfully.
Because the two people are irrelevant, it is more and more obvious that Mo Huating has no self-interest, so a move of a quasi, but both so it does not make sense, it seems that the emperor is also too much trust in Mo Huating it!
In any case, Mo Huating’s age is placed there, not much experience, it is also possible that he looked at the wrong person, how he felt that he had a good vision, directly mentioned Xie Qingzhao to such an important department!
Thinking about it again, Mo Wating himself was also young enough to hold a key position.
“The Emperor has such trust in Mo Huating?” These words Wei Yuewu asked out of her mouth without realizing it.
“Very trusting, since Mo Huating’s father old Jingyuan Marquis died, Mo Huating entered the emperor’s vision, and at first sight, it seems to be very agreeable, directly promoted into the palace, it did not take long to become the maintenance of security in the palace of the forbidden guards deputy commander, and did not take long, before the positive leader of the flat transfer out, this position is empty out to the Mo Huating. ”
Seemingly seeing Wei Yuewu’s doubts, Yan Huaijing smiled faintly and explained lazily.
“Flat transfer means giving place to Mo Huating?” For the officialdom, Wei Yuewu was originally not too familiar, but since returning to the capital, she had paid attention everywhere, and with the implication in Yan Huai Jing’s words, she immediately had a new suspicion.
“Originally that forbidden guards commander has been guarding the harem for so many years, reputation, strength above are not Mo Huating can be compared, if he is allowed to do this again, Mo Huating almost nothing out of the day, but he is so flat out, Mo Huating’s position will be able to move up a rise.”
The smile at the corner of Yan Huaijing’s lips grew wider.
“His Majesty really isn’t generally good to Mo Huating!” Wei Yuewu blinked her long eyelashes twice and said with emotion.
These things sound like nothing, but a closer look, but there is a deep meaning in, Wei Yuewu believes that Yan Huai Jing’s spies will not be wrong, although these things are far away from the capital, but the Yan Di and how there are no spies here, of course, she will not be asked in detail why Yan Huai Jing will know these.
“Then why would Mo Huating recommend Xie Qingzhao? Is he really appreciating Xie Qingzhao’s talent?” Wei Yuewu’s gaze fell back on Xie Qing Zhao on the stage and gave her conclusion, “Xie Qing Zhao’s character is not good!”
After saying this, after thinking about it, he added, “Mo Huating’s character is even worse!”
“So, is Mai’er trying to say that both of these people are not of good character, and that’s why they see eye to eye?” Looking at Wei Yuewu’s slightly puffed up little face, Yan Huaijing couldn’t help but laugh.
“It’s also possible!” Wei Yue Ma thought about it and nodded in agreement, otherwise she really couldn’t see any connection between the two.
“Or perhaps Mo Huating is simply admiring Xie Qingzhao!” Yan Huaijing laughed gently.
“Hmph! The two of them, Wang Ba looking at green beans, looking at the right eyes!” Wei Yuewu skimmed her mouth and mocked, although this sounded like a playful remark, Wei Yuewu felt that there was bound to be something going on here, Mo Huating looked like a person who was not interested in profit.
For the sake of his own interests, he would definitely do whatever it took, and if Xie Qingzhao was not half as useful to him, he would definitely not pay any attention to it!
This will be the performance on the stage has been almost, Wei Yuewu re-gaze to look at the stage of the crowd, there has been a young man handed over the painting in the hands of the fat shopkeeper to see a series of nods, but did not say a word, after all, this kind of is only to the end of the winners and losers.
One by one, the rest of the people also handed over their scrolls down and then they all stood to the side, after which a few more people went up, and when these four people had finished drawing again, Yan Huaijing shook his robe sleeve, signaling Wei Yuewu to let go.
Being numb in his hands, Wei Yuewu would wake up to realize that she was still pulling his sleeve, her snow-white face suddenly turned red, and she was busy spreading her hands, as Yan Huai Jing lifted his steps and walked up.
Followed him up but there were only two people, Wei Yuewu stood quietly under the stage, waiting for him to finish painting.
Among the three, Yan Huaijing drew the fastest, and after he finished, he didn’t stay on the stage, but only walked down slowly.
His such outstanding appearance was as handsome as a dream under the reflection of the light, and those around him who had a clear look at his appearance all exclaimed in low voices, and there were also people who recognized him, and someone in the crowd was saying in a low voice, “The Duke of Yan’s son!”
“It’s the Duke of Yan’s son!”
“It’s actually the Duke of Yan’s son!” …
The fat shopkeeper on the stage was holding Yan Huaijing’s painting and looking at it, and when he heard the voices from the crowd below the stage, he couldn’t help but raise his head and take a deep look at Yan Huaijing’s back.
From this angle of Wei Yuewu, it happened to be possible to see the wariness in the fat shopkeeper’s eyes, did such an ordinary businessman need to be wary of this powerful Yan Duke’s son?
Yan Di is strong, but the target is also those families and the royal family, and the ordinary people actually do not have much to do with the ordinary people, especially now Yan Di is still just a vassal of Zhongshan State, and has not expressed a clear intention to rebel when, why would a shopkeeper care so much about Yan Huaijing.
Wei Yuewu was silently contemplating, but was paying more and more attention to the demeanor of the fat shopkeeper on the stage.
This store, which sounded as if it belonged to the Marquis of Huayang, gave her too much mystery.
She saw that the fat shopkeeper only suddenly withdrew his gaze when Yan Huaijing walked in front of him and was about to turn around, landing on the scroll of paintings that Yan Huaijing had drawn earlier, but his eyes drifted, so it was obvious that his attention was actually still not on this scroll of paintings.
I don’t know if it was because Yan Huaijing was there, or I couldn’t find anyone else to go on stage, but there was no one else to go on stage to paint, so the fat shopkeeper started to evaluate the eleven paintings on hand.
This part of the judging was actually quite plebeian, and he invited a few old scholars to come over so that they could taste each one and see which painting was the most peculiar and colorful.
After that, Yan Huaijing’s scroll was hung out, it was a pair of tigers, one lying and one standing, seems to be a pair, standing seems to be a male tiger, under the angry eyes, even the eyes are through a few points of disdain for the world’s consciousness, as for the lying is more like a female, even if it has a huge size, it seems that the eyes are also warm and soft.
And very peculiarly, at the hill where the pair of tigers had stepped, there was actually a round-looking piece of jade that was uneven, but clearly round, and it was as if the pair of tigers had been constrained within it.
“This gentleman’s tiger is the most outstanding, not only is the painting exquisite, even the metaphor is complete, truly admirable, this lantern please have someone come over to carry it away!” After the fat shopkeeper on the stage respectfully saluted Yan Huaijing in the crowd, he smiled in a ball of peace.
Yan Huaijing nodded his head, and Xiao Dezi busily trotted up to the stage and brought down the glazed onyx lamp that Wei Yuewu had originally had her eye on.
A time to see the lantern carry away, the stage a sigh of relief, especially some girls, each looking at the red eyes.
When this lantern was sent to Wei Yuewu’s body, those gazes even fell on Wei Yuewu’s body one by one, all of them having a feeling of hating to take her place.
It was not just the beautiful lantern, but also the handsome Yan Huaijing who stood beside Wei Yuewu.
Yan Huaijing, however, as if he didn’t see the gazes around him, smiled faintly and asked softly, “Do you want to watch for a while longer?”
“Don’t, let’s go to the front and take a look!” Wei Yuewu shook her head and shook the lantern in her hand, her watery eyes streaming as they landed on the body of the fat shopkeeper on the stage.
This fat shopkeeper’s reaction was just too strange, did he care so much about Yan Huaijing?
“Good, go!” Yan Huaijing nodded, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and was about to leave, when he suddenly stopped and whispered to Xiao Dezi, who busily ran to the edge of the stage, and said something else to the fat shopkeeper, then took the painting Yan Huaijing had drawn earlier from the hands of the fat shopkeeper, and trotted back to Yan Huaijing’s side.
Wei Yuewu clearly felt the embarrassment on the fat shopkeeper’s face, her watery eyes fell to Xie Qing Zhao’s side, unsurprisingly, Xie Qing Zhao’s face was also very embarrassed, for this former scout boy, being compared to Yan Huai Jing like this, he was bound to feel unwilling to do so, but Yan Huai Jing’s status was placed there, and he was not allowed to be unwilling to do so.
Now Xie Qingzhao has not been a humble scholar, of course, it is impossible to say that Yan Huaijing is not as good as himself, but he is young and ambitious, and will not not be conceited, in front of so many people to lose to Yan Huaijing, is bound to be very reluctant to do it!
Wei Yuewu would not forget that there was an indescribable bond between this Xie Qing Zhao and Wei Qiufu, and that this bond was a sharp blade in Wei Qiufu’s hands.
“Let’s go!” Sensing Wei Yuewu’s attention on Xie Qingzhao, Yan Huaijing gracefully shook the sleeves in his hands and laughed.
“Go ahead and take a look, there are a lot of people over there as well, I wonder what it is?” Wei Yuewu collected her mind and turned around to point to a certain storefront across the street in front of her, there were quite a few people over there as well.
“Good!” Yan Huaijing nodded, striding towards the opposite street, with Wei Yueyue Dance following closely behind.
The gaze of the fat shopkeeper on the stage had been falling tightly on Yan Huaijing, almost all of his attention was on him, the smile on his face looked a little fake and his expression became grave.
He actually had some other activities going on at this time, but he didn’t care to host them at this time, and nodded his head and called over the second shopkeeper to help him host the rest of the business, and hurriedly descended from the back of the stage himself and went into his store.
“Duke Yan’s son seems to have seen that item, have someone go and check if it’s in Duke Yan’s residence!” He lowered his voice to a stout fellow who had followed him.
“What if … it really is in Yan Guo Gong s residence?” The fellow asked after a moment’s hesitation.
“Then … that’s just another idea!” The doughy smile on the fat shopkeeper’s face disappeared.
“Yes!” The stout fellow hurriedly retreated in response to the order, leaving the fat shopkeeper standing alone in the middle of the room, sinking his eyebrows into low thought!
