Chapter 142 You Can Only Rank Second
Shen Liuzhen swallowed what was in his mouth, and said: "The teacher supports me with all his strength and has been giving me money. In addition, His Royal Highness will allocate some money and food subsidies to my family every month. I have a small population here, so Saved a lot."

Wu Lei was not in a good mood, and said: "How many can there be? Which one of those people is not sitting on a good farm, is a high-ranking official, and who is not richer than you. How can they value your little money?"

Shen Liuzhen put down the plate in his hand, his eyes were round and innocent: "Is the grandson of the emperor looking down on me?... Not only these, I also have the gifts that others usually give me."

Wu Lei was startled when he heard this, pointed at Shen Liuzhen's nose and said, "You actually accepted bribes!"

Shen Liuzhen leaned back a little, looked at his fingertips and said: "...Then how do you call taking bribes? They either because I am a student of Xie's family, or because I am the companion of the emperor's grandson Reading, I feel that I am a child who is alone in Pingcheng and needs someone to take care of me, so the elders sent someone to send some things to show their love... How does this count as bribery?"

Shen Liuzhen raised his hand and gently scratched Wu Lei's fingers away, and said, "Besides... I'm a little companion to read, and I can't give others any benefits. There is no deal, so how can I talk about bribery?"

Ulay was completely speechless, he always made sense.He really couldn't find anything to say back, so he could only stare at him unconvinced.

Seeing this, Shen Liuzhen moved forward meanly, and said, "But the emperor's grandson is right, my money to bribe those people is really not enough, so I can only bribe their concierge or something... ..."

Ulay snorted coldly and asked, "Is this useful?"

"It's useful. The money is enough for me to meet them, and then recommend greater benefits to them." Shen Liuzhen said mysteriously.

"What's the benefit?"

"You are the emperor's grandson." Shen Liuzhen said it should be said, swallowed the leftover pastry in one gulp, and licked the residue.

Seeing him like this, Ulay wanted to laugh, thought about the meaning of his words, and said with a self-deprecating sentence: "You really don't take me seriously anymore, and now you dare to say such things.

Shen Liuzhen cleaned his hands, suddenly became serious, looked at Wu Lei and said seriously: "No, the grandson of the emperor is my hope, my brother."

Seeing his affectionate appearance, Wu Lei was about to be moved when Shen Liuzhen suddenly relaxed again and said:
"Of course, A Yuan ranks first, and the emperor's grandson can only rank second."

For some reason, Ulay suddenly felt sour, and said, "Who cares about being the first?" Then he pushed the plate in front of him irritably, half of the pastry inside shook with the plate, and almost fell out of it. come out.

Shen Liuzhen stood up, looked at the pastry and said, "My grandson, this pastry is expensive and time-consuming to make. If you don't eat this piece, you will have nothing to eat."

Wu Lei looked at the half piece of pastry and didn't say a word. He had suffered with Shen Liuzhen recently, and his meals were reduced by half compared to before. Besides, their cook learned from Xie's family, and he did a very good job. Don't worry. I can't eat it anywhere.

Otherwise, that eunuch Zongai wouldn't like to eat it so much.That food box was sent to Zong Ai as usual.

People who get angry when they think about it, and who dream of wanting to peel their skin and cramps, now even save delicious food to send to him!
He didn't die, and Ulay felt that he was going to be pissed off first.

I don't know how Shen Liuzhen did it, I've never seen him get angry... But it's always been like this since I first met him, what kind of bullying by He'an and the others, the next time we meet, nothing seems to happen Yes, should I just joke?
"The grandson of the emperor, I'm going to inquire about the situation in the palace. I may come back later today, so I'm leaving." Shen Liuzhen said, turned around and left with the food box in hand.

"Then what am I doing?" Ulay asked, standing up.

Shen Liuzhen turned around and smiled, and said: "The grandson of the emperor must do his best to ensure his own safety, and wait for the opportunity to respond."

After all, Liu Qinbing opened the door for him, and Shen Liuzhen went out with him.

Only Ulay and his own people brought out from the palace were left in the room.

The little eunuch who followed him had also been with him since he was a child. Seeing Wu Lei's expression at this time, he felt a little apprehensive and hesitated to speak.Finally said:
"The grandson of the emperor...Shen Bandu is really incomprehensible. He is so close to that Zongai, so it won't be bad for you."

Ulay woke up from being touched, turned his head to look at him, his eyes flickered for a while, then sneered at himself, and said:
"Based on my current situation, if he and Zongai want to harm me, why bother?"

Wu Lei sat down again dejectedly, and said, "The emperor's grandfather and father passed away one after another, and the new emperor ascended the throne. Who would think of me, the former emperor's grandson?"

……

Zong Ai is now Da Sima, Grand Master, and opened the gate of the mansion directly outside the palace. When Shen Liuzhen was carrying the food box to go, he happened to meet Zong Ai losing his temper at home.

Outside the gate of the mansion, although there were many people who came to visit, most of them were Han civil servants, and Xianbei nobles could not see a few.

This is a world of difference from when His Majesty the Emperor Shi Yufoli was around.

In the past, he was a celebrity in front of His Majesty, whether it was a civil servant or a Xianbei nobleman, if he wanted to get a few words from His Majesty or ask for grace, he would have to bow and bow to him.

What about now?His Majesty went down, because he was honored by His Majesty's cronies and regular attendants, he said that whoever His Majesty appointed was orthodox.Only then did he make a deal with the Xianbei nobles, and obtained the seemingly glamorous status now.

Zong Ai held up a large vase and smashed it with a "snap", and the pieces of porcelain flew to the feet of Shen Liuzhen who came in.

Shen Liuzhen jumped in fright while carrying the food box, and almost fell over.

After Zong Ai finished the fall, his temper also subsided a little.Seeing Shen Liuzhen panting, he waved and said, "You're here, come and sit."

Shen Liuzhen carefully walked around the porcelain and said, "If the Grand Master is not in a good mood, I will come back another day."

Zong Ai took the food box in his hand, opened it to have a look, and saw that the pastries inside were all in a mess.

Shen Liuzhen also saw it, said "Oops", and regretfully said: "I carried it all the way carefully, and just jumped that one, and my success fell short!"

He scrunched his face and looked at it, took the food box back from Zong Ai's hand, and said, "...some of them are broken, or I'll take this back and make a better one later."

"No need." Zong Ai raised his eyes, his voice suddenly raised, and his voice was sharp.He was still angry, and his tone was showing impatience, and said: "Will the broken taste affect the taste?... How can our family be so delicate? We have eaten military rations for most of our lives, and still care about this?!"

After speaking, he directly pulled Shen Liuzhen to sit on the seat next to him, picked up the pastry and started eating.

In a blink of an eye, seeing Shen Liuzhen's cautious eyes looking at him, he frowned and said:

"Look at your little guts, what's the matter?... Just watch what I do, and you will eat it!"
