Chapter 190 Rumors Resurface
Back in the palace, Luo Chuchu specially asked them to take care of the prey, and dry the unfinished food, so that they must not be wasted.

I always cherish the things I get back, and they taste more delicious.

Shi Huaishan and Luo Chuchu bid farewell at the gate of the palace, and returned to the residence of the Imperial College.

Luo Chuchu had already told him to stay in the capital as an official, and Shi Huaishan didn't have to worry about where he should go.It's just that if the official positions of these 30 people are to be announced together, they must wait for a while.

Seven days later, the day when the official position was announced.

A group of people surrounded the small courtyard of Shi Huaishan of the Imperial College, waiting for the eunuch who announced the decree to come.

Shi Huaishan was wearing new clothes, and two servants stood behind him, getting up early in the morning and waiting at the door.

When the sun was getting warmer, someone finally came to report: "The father-in-law who announced the decree is here!"

Shi Huaishan knelt at the door, and listened to his father-in-law announce that he was appointed as the eighth rank to Shi Lang, giving him some silver, some robes, a house, etc. The rewards were second only to the number one scholar, which shows that he was quite favored.

After receiving the order, before Shi Huaishan could stand still, he heard all kinds of compliments coming towards him, politely declined them one by one, closed the courtyard door and began to pack his things, ready to move out.

He was quite emotional, he thought he would have to stay in the Imperial College for a year or two before he could become an official, but he didn't expect that he only stayed for about half a year.

The time in Guozijian was very pleasant, but when Shi Huaishan left, he was a little bit sad.

The date of appointment is quite humane, it is set after three days, when it is enough time, Huaishan will pack up his things.

But on the second day after the announcement of his official position, rumors about Shi Huaishan once again broke out in the capital.

This time it is not like last time, it only circulated in a small area.

Although Shi Huaishan hadn't officially taken office yet, he was already considered an official, and because of the empress' love for him, the rumors spread more and more widely under the impetus of those who cared about him.

This time, Wen Xinyi and the others were busy instructing the new servants to clean the house, and had no time to go out to inquire about the news, so when they were studying at home, Huaishan knew nothing about the outside news, and could not respond immediately.

After three days passed, when Shi Huaishan took office in his official uniform, he found that the superior who received him looked at him a little strangely, as if he hesitated to speak.

Shi Huaishan didn't know him before, so he didn't think much about it, and got familiar with the affairs with officials of the same rank.

Gishilang is a civilian official, and there are not many things to do, but fortunately, he can get in touch with many officials.

At noon, Shi Huaishan took the initiative to invite the officials who were working with him to the restaurant.

After drinking and eating, the official couldn't help but said: "Huai Shan, I don't think you are a bad person, how could you do such a thing? Even if you don't like her, marrying her as a concubine can stop people's mouths Why did it cause rumors all over the city, hey..."

Shi Huaishan was in a fog, and asked: "Master Wang, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."

The official shook his head, and said earnestly: "Huai Shan, I just persuaded you when I saw you like old friends. If it were someone else, it would be too late to watch the excitement. It's just you and me here, why pretend?"

Shi Huaishan became even more confused when he heard it, and asked for advice: "I really don't understand, can Mr. Wang please explain in more detail?"

Seeing that Huai Shan's expression really didn't look like a fake, the official frowned and said, "Huai Shan, did you offend someone?"

He told Shi Huaishan about the rumors he heard in the brothel.

Starting from the day before yesterday, Jin Meier, the oiran of Huancai Garden, went uncharacteristically, put on a plain dress, and sang "Resentment" when performing on stage.

The song was sung like weeping and complaining, and the audience in the audience were all moved by it.

After the song was over, Jin Meier covered her face and wept.After repeated persuasion by everyone, he finally told the truth.

It turned out that this matter had something to do with Shi Huaishan who was in the limelight recently.Earlier there were rumors that Shi Huaishan was not actually called Shi Huaishan, but Wu Huaishan, in order to gain connections with the exterminated Shi family, and to disguise himself as an orphan of civil servants who had been wronged, so as to conceal that he was actually a villager. human reality.

Later, when Shi Huaishan refuted the rumors, he only refuted the rumors that there was no impostor and cheating, and he did not refute the rumor that he used to be called Wu Huaishan.

Originally, everyone was not very interested in hearing this, but then Jin Meier talked about a topic that she likes to hear and see - love debt.

Jin Meier and Wu Huaishan were childhood sweethearts, and they had made a private decision with him for life. Wu Huaishan vowed to marry Jin Meier after he was named on the gold list.Jin Meier believed him very much, but Wu Huaishan disliked Jin Meier after he passed the examination of a scholar, threatened to marry a famous lady, and abandoned her cruelly.

Later, Jin Meier chased her husband for thousands of miles, and after inquiring in every possible way, she learned that Wu Huaishan came to the capital, turned into a seller and followed her to the capital.But Wu Huaishan refused to recognize her after seeing her, and Jin Meier was reduced to a brothel, but he himself changed his name and surname, entered the palace to face the empress, and used the empress's relationship to study in the Imperial College, and finally even became Tanhualang.

After Jin Meier learned that Wu Huaishan had completely changed his name to Shi Huaishan, she was very sad.Unexpectedly, he was such a villain, for the sake of fame, fortune and official position, he would even abandon his own surname, let alone her old lover.

Jin Meier was very sad these days, and today she couldn't bear it anymore, so she cried on stage.

After hearing her story, everyone looked different.

Shi Huaishan has already made a name for himself in the capital, he is handsome and talented, he is very popular with the ladies, and everyone scrambles to get to know him.

Even the current empress is the same, she loves Shi Huaishan very much, not only let him stay in the palace, but also let him accompany him to go hunting in autumn.

All the officials didn't bring it with them, except Shi Huaishan.

It can be seen from this that when Huaishan stepped into the officialdom, what kind of preference he would receive, which really touched their interests.

Jin Meier's story is just a fulcrum, from which it can be criticized that Shi Huaishan is the real one.

When Shi Huaishan heard the so-called "truth", he became angry from the heart.

I don't know who is targeting him behind the scenes, one wave after another, endless.

If the culprit is not found out, I'm afraid he will often fall into such troubles.He heard a lot of bad things, even if Shi Huaishan refuted the rumors that he did not do those things, it would become a proof that he did but dare not admit it.If things go on like this, the reputation will be ruined, how can you still get along in the officialdom?
When the official saw Huaishan, he was angry and shut up knowingly.

He also wanted to sell Shi Huaishan for a good one.After all, he has a relationship with the empress, even if the empress is not really in power, but if Shi Huaishan says a word, Shi Huaishan can take advantage of the wind to soar upwards, this is something a fool can see.

He has been a petty official all his life, no matter how he looks at it, he has no chance to be promoted by himself.After finally recruiting a colleague who is destined to be promoted, when will he wait if he doesn't win over at this time?When Huaishan counterattacked, he could also take advantage of the opportunity.

Even if Shi Huaishan failed to dispel the rumors, there would be no harm, after all, it would not be a loss if he just talked about it.

Shi Huaishan took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your guidance."
