Xiao Jiading smiled and reached out to touch her towering chest: "Then let me see your heart..."

Bah! Ya Niang spat gently and blocked his hand: "Let's go quickly! The boss is still waiting!"

Xiao Jiading knew that this was not delayed, so she came out to talk to Chimei. When Chimei heard that Tang Lin was going to summon Xiao Jiading, it showed that there was room for recovery, so she couldn't help but be happy and nervous. Because Tang Lin only said that she had summoned Xiao Jiading and did not let Chimei go, she had to wait at home. She sent Xiao Jiading to the door and asked him to explain happily, so she must not be angry.

Seeing that she looked like a young wife, Xiao Jiading patted her shoulders and agreed.

Su Yunxia did not attend the poetry meeting because she was in a hurry to deal with some matters on the construction site. Xiao Jiading asked her to go to work on the construction site. After she came back, she heard the maid Nengzhu and others whispered. Then she realized that after carefully studying this oil poem, she thought that Xiao Jiading's poem was too playful at first, but later she remained silent. When Xiao Jiading left, she said to Chimei: "Sister, don't worry. I think that although this rumor is vulgar, the truth is very profound, which happens to be targeting the situation of Tang Sima. Tang Sima was just angry and did not experience it carefully. When he calmed down, he should be able to understand the good intentions of this poem."

Chimei looked at Su Yunxia in confusion. Seeing that she was sincere, not words of comfort, she thought intently, and her eyes lit up and said, "Yes! Why didn't I think of it! Sister, you are so smart!"

Su Yunxia smiled sweetly: "The so-called care is chaos. My sister is dedicated to Brother Xiao, and she is anxious. I was not present, and I heard it later, so I calm down a little."

Chimei thought about this matter and immediately shook her face and said, "Xiao Lang will definitely be able to handle this matter well."

…………

Xiao Jiading followed her to the prefecture government office in Yaniang's carriage.

Because Tang Lin was demoted, he did not have his own real estate residence in Yizhou. So he lived in the yamen. Generally, the prefecture government offices have such special courtyards to settle down the officials. The courtyards are considered luxurious, and they also have their own back garden, which is very refined and has a guard on duty. It is equivalent to the current armed police standing guard to show their importance to such demotion.

Yaniang's carriage was smooth all the way, and she didn't get off until the gate of the courtyard. Zaoli, who was on duty, met Xiao Jiading and bowed to salute him.

After entering the courtyard and arrived at the main hall, Tang Lin did not wait there. The main hall was empty. After asking the servants in the corridor, he realized that Tang Lin had gone to the back garden alone. So Ya Niang asked Xiao Jiading to sit and wait in the main hall, and went to the back garden to find Tang Lin.

Xiao Jiading knew that this was a way for officials to take airs. For subordinates who need to be reused but have things that make him dissatisfied, it is necessary to beat them. One of the ways is to keep the subordinates cool. So he calmly waited and took the opportunity to sober up. He actually didn't drink much, and after he walked the way. When he got here, his alcoholic spirit had long since dissipated.

After waiting for half an hour, Tang Lin walked in with a gloomy face and sat down on the couch.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xiao Jiading didn't say anything himself. There was a little dismay for a while.

Ya Niang quickly tried to color Xiao Jiading. Xiao Jiading then cleared her throat and sneered: "Why did the boss leave before he finished reading?"

Ya Niang originally wanted Xiao Jiading to apologize quickly. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiading said that, and seemed to be a little bit of accusing Tang Lin. She couldn't help but be anxious and angry. She glared at him fiercely.

But Xiao Family Ding seemed to have not seen it, looking at Tang Lin.

Tang Lin's anger, which had already been slightly calm, was picked up by Xiao Jiading's irrelevant words. He stared at Xiao Jiading and said in a deep voice: "Don't you think you should give an explanation for what happened today?"

"I thought the boss understood," Xiao Jiading shrugged, pretending to be very surprised. "Since the boss asked me to explain, I will explain, - I know that the boss was always depressed when he was demoted to Yizhou. However, I believe that the boss will sooner or later and return to the center of the court. I firmly believe that this is true. It's just that the boss is busy with official duties and has never had the chance to see you, nor has he said such things. The title of the poem competition today is Yizhou Pagoda. So I wanted to take the opportunity to comfort him, so I wrote this poem. The boss is demoted to Yizhou, just like a pagoda, located in the lower level. However, I believe that the boss will reverse the world. At that time, he will be located in the clouds and return to the center of the court!"

Tang Lin was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, it was not like this. However, using this method to express consolation really made Tang Lin laugh and cry.

After listening to Xiao Jiading's explanation, Tang Lin basically believed Xiao Jiading's statement. His face was a little calmer and said, "You want to comfort me, how can you do this? Have you forgotten what I said to you at the Huafang last time?"

"How could I forget the boss's teachings? The boss asked me to find opportunities to increase my popularity as much as possible. This time, Lu Zhaolin came to attend the poetry meeting, which was a good opportunity. He is the number one talented man in the capital. As long as I defeat him by fighting poetry, I will become famous in the capital."

"Since you know, why don't you listen to me? You just want to write such a vulgar rumor in such an important competition? Do you know what high expectations I have for you? If you want to comfort me with this rumor, you can write it to me after it is finished. Why do you do this on such an important occasion? It's ridiculous?"

Xiao Jiading shook his head: "To be honest, boss, I don't think this poem is embarrassing. Moreover, I am lazy by nature, so I can say whatever I think. When I saw that boss, you had a smile on your face, there was a faint sadness between your eyebrows. I knew that demotion was the lingering knot of the boss. If I wrote this vulgar poem to the boss after I came down, I believe that I would never have penetrated into the boss's heart as deeply as I am now, leaving such a deep impression on the boss. I believe that in this life, boss will never forget my poem. I also hope that no matter how adversity the boss is, he must believe in yourself. The salted fish can turn over and the pagoda can turn over, and everything is possible!"

Hearing Xiao Jiading's explanation, it turned out that he wanted to remember it deeply. After all, it was out of kindness. Tang Lin's anger gradually faded, and he snorted, saying, "Do you know how rare the opportunity is to compete with Lu Zhaolin on such an occasion? You lost, and I am really disappointed!"

"Lu Zhaolin is still young, similar to me. I believe there are many opportunities to compete with him in the future, so there is no need to worry. Besides, fame and fortune are like clouds to me. I am free and easy in nature and don't care about these fame and fortune at all. So what if I lose? - Don't be surprised by favors and disgraces, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the courtyard; if you don't want to stay or leave, you will follow the clouds rolling and unwind!"

Tang Lin was stunned for a moment. Xiao Jiading's last two sentences came from "Cai Gen Tan" by Hong Yingming, a Taoist in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. He, a Tang Dynasty person, could not know it. He felt that these two sentences were so open-minded, peaceful and indifferent to fame and fortune. This was a state of mind that he sometimes really wanted to have. However, he could not see the fame and fortune, and he wanted to make great achievements in his career. Therefore, although these two couplets of Xiao Jiading also touched his heart, they did not change his long-standing belief in career.

However, this also made Tang Lin truly realize Xiao Jiading's transcendent attitude, which was contrary to what he hoped Xiao Jiading would do for him! He highly praised Xiao Jiading's poetry and firmly believed that Xiao Jiading could not write such vulgar poems at the poetry meeting, but Xiao Jiading wrote them out. After Tang Lin came back and thought about it carefully, he felt that Xiao Jiading didn't care about fame and fortune at all, and was too straightforward to do things! According to his own personality, he was not very sure at that time, but now, when he heard Xiao Jiading recite such a quiet and transcendent couplet, he knew that his guess was right!

No! If Xiao Jiading continues like this, his overall plan may be disappointed!

Tang Lin was thinking quickly in his mind. Finally, he figured out one thing, that is, if he didn't explain the matter clearly to him, it would be impossible for him to follow his plan, and he would probably fail!

So, Tang Lin took a deep breath and said to Ya Niang beside him: "You are tired for a day, go back early to rest. I will send someone to take him back later."

Ya Niang knew that they must have something very important to talk about, so important that she couldn't even let herself know. Although she wanted to hear it very much, she was not just curious, but because the matter was related to Xiao Jiading, which was the man she was going to entrust for life. But now, she couldn't stay. So she got up and gave a blessing, turned around and left silently. When she went out, she brought the door and there were only Tang Lin and Xiao Jiading in the room.

Xiao Jiading was secretly proud of his heart. This was his plan. Actually, he was not a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune and was quiet and far-reaching? If this were the case, he would not have been shameless at the entrance of the brothel to pick banners and fight with others to make money and make some money. He sharpened his head and entered the yamen. All of this, including the pretentiousness behind him, had only one purpose, that is, to let Tang Lin tell what he was going to let Xiao Jiading do. Only by knowing the truth can he weigh the pros and cons to make a choice. He believed that Tang Lin would definitely tell the truth.

Tang Lin said: "Do you know why I was demoted?"

Xiao Jiading shook his head and said nothing. He knew that he would not ask, and the other party would also say it.

Tang Lin smiled bitterly and said, "The reason is very simple. That day, the emperor's palace meeting was eating outside the hall at noon. I was eating a piece of chicken legs. The emperor suddenly announced that I went in. I didn't think much about it, so he took the chicken legs in. When the emperor saw it, he was furious and said that I had lost my official etiquette. He immediately issued an order to demote me to Sima, Yizhou, and let me leave Beijing today. In this way, I was demoted!"
