Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 463 Xiao He comes to Fusu's residence! Xiao He refuses?
Fusu nodded slightly when he heard Lin Xuan's words, "Someone come!"

"Son!"

"Butler, please go to Xiao He's residence and ask him to come to my residence and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

"promise!"

The butler walked into the hall, heard Fusu's words, bowed and turned to leave the hall.

When Lin Xuan saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face, and today's dinner became more lively.

A horse-drawn carriage was traveling on the street in Xianyang City, with Xiao He and Fusu's steward sitting in the carriage.

"Butler, did the master tell me why he wanted me to go down?"

Xiao He looked at the butler and asked.

"Master Xiao He, Master Fusu only asked me to go to his residence to meet him, but he didn't tell me what the matter was."

When the butler heard Xiao He's words, he quickly responded.

After hearing what the butler said, Xiao He nodded and said nothing more.

I have been very busy these days because of the imperial examination.

There is no time to go to Master Fusu’s mansion and talk with Master Fusu and Mr. Lin Xuan.

The imperial examination ended two days ago, and he finally had some time for himself.

Xiao He had originally planned to go to Prince Fusu's residence in a few days to talk with him and Mr. Lin Xuan.

By the way, I discussed some issues with Mr. Lin Xuan. Unexpectedly, this evening, Prince Fusu's steward came to the mansion granted to him by His Majesty.

Prince Fusu's steward told him that Fusu invited him to his mansion to discuss something with him.

Xiao He quickly asked his butler to prepare the carriage, and took Fusu's butler to the residence of Prince Fusu in the carriage.

In the evening, the vendors on the streets of Xianyang City had closed their stalls, and horse-drawn carriages could pass through the roads without any hindrance.

Soon the carriage entered a secluded alley, and after a while it stopped.

"Sir, here we are!"

The coachman who was driving the carriage lifted the curtain and said to Xiao He who was in the carriage.

When Xiao He heard the driver's words, he nodded and got off the carriage.

Fusu's steward also got off the carriage after Xiao He.

"My lord please!"

Fusu's steward led the way for Xiao He and took Xiao He into Fusu's mansion.

The two entered the mansion, and after walking for a while, Xiao He saw a house in front of him that was brightly illuminated by candlelight.

"Sir, the young master is waiting for you in the hall."

The butler walked outside the hall, stopped, looked at Xiao He respectfully and said.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xiao He looked at the housekeeper and nodded, then he straightened his clothes and walked into the hall.

When Xiao He entered the hall and looked at the scene inside, he was stunned.

Xiao He reacted quickly and looked at the people in the hall with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Xiao He thought that Prince Fusu was the only one in the hall, but he didn't expect that there was others besides Fusu.

There were also Prince Fusu's teacher Lin Xuan, and the three brothers of the Meng family, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, and Meng Fang.

General Han Xin, a famous general of the Qin Dynasty, was also in the hall.

"I've met Mr. Fusu!"

"Mr. Lin Xuan!"

"Comrades!"

Xiao He looked at Fusu and the others and bowed.

"Xiao He, there is no need to be so polite. Today, I am preparing a dinner for Generals Han Xin and Meng Tian who have returned triumphantly."

"You can also think of it as a family dinner, no need to be polite."

Fusu looked at Xiao He with a smile on his face.

"Brother Xiao He, please take a seat!"

Han Xin pointed to the empty seat beside him and looked at Xiao He with a smile on his face.

When Xiao He heard Han Xin's words, he nodded slightly and walked to the empty seat next to Han Xin and sat down.

Looking at the three Meng brothers and Han Xin in the hall, Xiao He felt a little puzzled. Prince Fusu had just said that tonight was a dinner prepared for Han Xin and Meng Tian.

As Meng Tian's younger brothers, it was reasonable for Meng Yi and Meng Fang to appear at the dinner party.

Mr. Lin Xuan is Prince Fusu's teacher, so there is nothing wrong with him appearing at the dinner party.

Xiao He didn't understand why Fusu wanted to invite him to the dinner by saying that he had something to talk to him about.

He has no relationship with the three Meng brothers and Han Xin.

"Xiao He, it seems that you are still curious about why I asked you to come here?"

Fusu looked at Xiao He, who had a strange expression on his face, and asked.

When Meng Tian, ​​Han Xin and others heard Fusu's words, they put down the wine bottles in their hands and looked at Xiao He.

Lin Xuan was drinking fine wine with a calm expression.

When Xiao He heard Fusu's words, he saw that everyone except Lin Xuan was looking at him.

Xiao He said, "You are right, sir. I am indeed a little curious as to why you asked me to come here."

Xiao He looked at Fusu and told him the truth without hiding anything.

Fusu smiled when he heard Xiao He's words and said, "The reason why I asked you to come here today is because of the teacher's idea."

"The teacher asked me to invite you to come to my mansion."

Fusu looked at Xiao He and mentioned the name of his teacher Lin Xuan.

When Xiao He heard Fusu's words, he looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of doubt on his face.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, I wonder why you asked me to come here?"

Xiao He looked at Lin Xuan and asked.

The hall became quiet and everyone looked at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan put down the wine bottle, looked at Xiao He and said, "Just now, Master Fusu mentioned that Your Majesty is building the road to Daqin."

“Building roads in so many cities is not an easy task.”

"The young master wants to recommend a minister to your majesty to be in charge of building the road."

"With this person in charge, we can monitor the quality and speed of road construction."

"I think your suggestion is very good. Daqin really needs a person in charge to supervise the construction of roads."

"Sir, I just thought of this suggestion, and I don't have a favorite candidate."

"General Han Xin recommended Generals Meng Yi and Wang Ben to you, young master."

"The reason why you rejected these two people is not because they are incapable."

"It's because they are backed by the Wang and Meng families, and these two families have aroused the jealousy of other ministers."

"The person responsible for building the road has great power and will be watched by others."

“For the Wang and Meng families who want to keep a low profile, this is not acceptable to Meng Yi and Wang Ben.”

"You asked for my advice, and I recommended you."

Lin Xuan looked at Xiao He and told him the reason why he asked Xiao He to come.

When Xiao He heard Lin Xuan's words, he was stunned and didn't even notice that the wine bottle in his hand fell on the table.

Xiao He quickly reacted and shook his head slightly, saying, "This time, His Majesty has ordered the construction of the Great Qin Road."

“This is a big deal and the people who are responsible for building the road are very important.”

"Xiao He is incompetent and cannot hold this position."

"Please, sir, choose someone else."

Xiao He looked at Lin Xuan and Fusu and politely refused.

The three Meng Tian brothers and Han Xin looked at Lin Xuan. They did not expect Xiao He to refuse this position.

Fusu, who was sitting in the main seat, also looked at his teacher Lin Xuan. Xiao He was recommended by his teacher.

Now that Xiao He doesn't want to take this position, Fusu wants to know how his teacher will persuade Xiao He.

When Lin Xuan heard Xiao He's words, a smile appeared on his face and he put the wine bottle in his hand on the table.

Looking at Xiao He, he said, "Xiao He, you refused this position, I guess you have some concerns in your heart. Am I right?"

Fusu, Meng Tian and others looked at Xiao He after hearing Lin Xuan's words.
