Chapter 142 If it's not like this, hum...

"Please give me some advice!" Xu Jie knew that things were beyond his expectations. It was really not that simple to get married. Xu Jie even guessed a lot, and he was almost certain. However, Xu Jie didn't dare to make a conclusion. He couldn't believe that his "destiny" with the royal family was so deep that he could meet the prince everywhere.

Cheng Wen looked at Xu Jie, "It's good, Brother Yu clearly said that Wen Yuan would decide. Brother Yu didn't have the surname Cheng, but the third surname was Cheng at that time, so he could only have the surname Cheng under the cover. The third surname Cheng was just because his biological mother was a maid named Cheng."

Speaking of this, Cheng Wen stared at Xu Jie and said word by word: "Brother Yu's surname is Xia!"

"Xia Wen?" Xu Jie blurted out, then he was deeply thinking, and his mind was also thinking.

However, the man behind Xia Wen heard Xu Jie calling him his name and was about to step forward to scold him, but Xia Wen raised his hand to block him.

"It's Xia Wen, the sister who gave up, is the Princess of Rongguo Xia Xiaorong!" Xia Wen said this, raised his head slightly, with a sense of pride and confidence.

Although Xu Jie had a little guess before, after the guess became reality, Xu Jie was somewhat shocked.

But Xu Jie smiled slightly: "There is such a fate, and things in the world are always such coincidences. Since it is King Guangyang who is in person, I think the prince will know something in a few days. After knowing this, the prince will not be able to give this gift."

Xia Wen was puzzled when he heard this: "What's the matter?"

"I am studying under Dajiang County as the governor of Ouyang Zheng." Xu Jie replied, knowing that he had ended his fate with the King of Guangyang. Xia Wen will definitely know this matter in a few days. There is no need to say much about Ouyang Zheng and Li Qiming. Li Qiming is Xia Wen's uncle, so how can Xu Jie and Xia Wen get entangled?

When Xia Wen heard this, he was shocked. He stood up and walked a few steps. He looked at Xu Jie again. He was also thinking in his heart. After thinking for a while, he spoke: "What happened more than ten years ago is nothing. I was only in my teenage years, and I didn't know the details. Now if you join me, it might be even better. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to turn swords into jade? "

Xia Wen's desire to recruit people has been fully revealed. If you want to say that Xia Wen is really much better than Xia Han, even if his identity has been revealed, he still calls himself "me" in front of Xu Jie, rather than "I" like Xia Han. Xia Wen's attitude towards recruiting people has improved a lot, not as arrogant as Xia Han. Xia Wen's pride is more hidden in his heart. Xia Han is arrogant and domineering.

Xia Wen wanted to recruit Xu Jie not just to attack the third brother Xia Rui. Xia Rui was really not in Xia Wen's sight. The son of a palace maid, although the palace maid was favored for a while, now the palace maid is old and has not been favored. Xia Rui has not even a title of king, but just a prince raised in the capital, and there is no force around him to help. Xia Wen has never seen the younger brother who is not as good as martial arts. Xia Wen looked down on Xia Rui directly, looked down on him, and did not like him. Not only does it have status differences, but also the pride of traditional literati for Bai Ding.

Xia Wen wanted to recruit Xu Jie in order to make himself famous. A prince was surrounded by talented people. As Xia Wen said, there were great scholars in talking and laughing, but no white men in contact. This is to keep oneself clean, this is the name of the Qing Dynasty. Behind Xia Wen are nobles and relatives, and they should care about such a reputation. Qing Dynasty is a means to win over literati in the court, and a clever means.

Let those civil servants subconsciously accept Xia Wen, thinking that Xia Wen is a literati, not a martial artist. Xu Jie's reputation is okay, but Xu Jie has the potential to be famous, and Xia Wen has the help of Xu Jie's reputation. This is enough. When Xu Jie becomes famous in this capital, Xu Jie is the close friend of King Xia Wen of Guangyang. What's more, Xu Jie's friends are even more extraordinary, and Wu Boyan is among them, including the Censor General Xie Fang, and perhaps Wu Zhongshu.

This is the value of Xu Jie to Xia Wen.

But when Xu Jie shook his head, he slowly stood up, and said, "Prince, you and I are not all the people. I'm going to say goodbye."

Xu Jie might have a little bit of attention to Xia Wen, but Li Qiming and Xu Jie really don’t like him, and he doesn’t want to be with Li Qiming in the future. He even has a grudge. This grudge does not come from Ouyang Zheng, but from the nearly two hundred men who died in the battlefield in Xujia Town. How did Xu Jie stand with Li Qiming?

"It's outrageous. Wen's sour and proud don't look at the occasion. How could you neglect my prince?" This sentence was naturally said by the person behind Xia Wen.

This time, Xia Wen did not scold him, but just raised his hand and waved it, indicating that he would go aside. Xia Wen himself spoke: "You are ignorant, don't blame Wen Yuan. If Wen Yuan could join me, I could promise you many benefits in the future. I am also well-read sages and knowledgeable in poetry, calligraphy and painting. You and I must have many similar interests. When you and I interact, it must be a beautiful thing in the literary world. Should Wen Yuan think about it again?"

Xu Jie is not so pride in his literary pride. At this time, Xu Jie has the right to say that the pride of the literati is in front of the prince.

Xu Jie bowed and said, "Prince, let's look at the fate in the future. When I was young, I didn't understand the competition for interests in this world. It was a coincidence that I met with Cheng... The third prince. I would rather go home and study honestly, and take the Juren first and then take the Jinshi exam, so that I can be qualified to sit with the prince. Say goodbye!"

After saying that, Xu Jie turned around and left in contemplation.

Xia Wen looked at Xu Jie's departure back and stopped talking, but sat down, picked up the wine glass and drank it.

The man behind him said with anger: "Prince, this guy is really ungrateful. He is nothing. He is just a boy who doesn't even have the reputation of a juren. Why should he be so courteous? Such a person can find a hundred or eighty people for the prince in a small day."

Xia Wen was also angry, but he didn't say it out. He just smiled faintly and said, "Okay, go and find a few to let me see."

Xia Wen didn't know if he was too lazy to explain, so he spoke to mock the man. He would just ask him to find someone.

The man was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't take back what he said. He bowed and said, "As for orders, I will go and search in the afternoon, and I will definitely find someone who is satisfied with the prince."

Xia Wen stopped talking, picked up the chopsticks on his own and sighed: "It's a pity that a table of good wine and food."

The woman next to her smiled and said, "Brother, Xu Wenyuan is really interesting. He doesn't even look at such a good garden. He is neither humble nor arrogant or moved by the recruitment of the emperor. Maybe it is such a person who can write such a story. When I see him today, my sister is really not disappointed."

Xia Wen laughed and said, "Sister, you are not disappointed, but I am extremely disappointed. When I read books, I don't know what the book taught. The book reads me like this and Xu Wenyuan like that again."

"Brother, I have a hundred kinds of people, I just think Xu Wenyuan is very good and worthy of his reputation." The woman said.

Xia Wen looked at the woman with a smile and said, "He said he was not a member of the same place. What do you think it means?"

"Didn't he meant he was unwilling to participate in the matters of the emperor?" Princess Rongguo Xia Xiaorong replied.

"Haha... I don't want high-ranking officials and generous salaries?" Xia Wen asked again.

"Emperor brother, he is not the only one who doesn't have high officials and generous salaries. Didn't he know Wu Boyan, Jiangning? Then isn't Wu Boyan such a person?" Xia Xiaorong said again, and there was still a little longing for him in his eyes. This is the gentleman's demeanor from ancient times to the present.
