Vol 10 Chapter 84: Distant relatives of the Xiang clan

"It's so boring, no wonder Xiang Ruan is called, this person is too soft, it's boring to play."
Hearing the movement on Xiang Ruan's side, Su Yi didn't even raise his head, but turned the roast chicken in his hand again.
"It's boring to play? I think you are quite comfortable playing?"
Gai Nie picked up the roast chicken he hadn't finished eating just now, and secretly rejoiced that he had just covered it, otherwise, wouldn't it be contaminated by waves of dust.
"It's better than nothing." Su Yi curled his lips, took the cold roast chicken from Guyie's hand, and handed it a freshly roasted chicken.
Gainie took the roasted chicken and did not eat it. Instead, he turned it over and looked at it carefully, "This chicken used to report a letter looks no different from a normal pheasant."
Su Yi took a bite of the chicken and savoured it for a long time before he said, "Actually, it tastes the same. There is nothing to show off."
"Yeah." Gai Nie smiled lowly, expressing that Su Yi's performance was very helpful.
"Speaking of which, why did you think of this way?"
"I didn't think about it deliberately. It's just that I saw these wide-sleeved clothes when I was checking Su Bai's clothes. I wanted to wear them for fun and feel the breeze of a literati with two sleeves. Who knows? Well, it's just such a coincidence, but it came in handy." Su Yi shook his sleeves, his tone was casual, as if this was really just an accident.
However, Gai Nie, who knew Su Yi to take one step and three steps, obviously didn't think so.
"Oh? Well, let's talk about it. What's happening just now has anything to do with this suit?"
"Actually, it doesn't have much connection." Su Yi tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into Guinie's hand. "Senior brother, have I told you not to be so smart, it's very annoying."
"I haven't said it."
"Then I will tell you now."
"Well, I heard it." Guyie hooked his lips. "So, didn't I ask you."
Su Yi rolled his eyes and took a bite of the chicken in his hand. "This Xiang Ruan is actually a distant relative of the Xiang clan."
"Extremely far? How far is that?"
"Ah... probably just... the side branch of the side branch..." Su Yi didn't want to say more about this boring question, "how far is the relative relationship is not the point, but how far he is assigned is the point."
"Huh?" Gai Nie was in interest. When he just woke up, he was wondering where they are now, but with the broad magnolia leaves of Su Yi pad roast chicken, he probably estimated a river basin. Although I heard from Su Yi that it was near the east border of Chu State, near the mouth of the river, after all, I still didn't know the exact location.
"Senior brother should be clear that the current capital of the Chu Kingdom, Yingcheng, is in the Huai River Basin, and our current location is in the river basin. The river and Huai River are not far apart."
"What does this have to do with the distant relatives of the Xiang clan?"

"Senior Brother, do you think that the appointment and removal of officials at this time is affected by blood? How is it affected by talent?"
Without waiting for Guinie’s answer, Su Yi continued,
Even if the relative is far away and the blood relationship is weak, it will eventually be a little closer than the outsider. And that little bit, when it works, is not a little bit. Up."
"But this Xiang Ruan... doesn't have the backbone and responsibilities of the Xiang clan at all. Such a simple battle is shocking..."
"Xiang Ruan has no abilities in his own right, but he is so lofty and has a great temperament. Relying on his surname Xiang, he has a little bit of kinship with the Xiang clan, and his behavior is quite condemned. Originally, Xiang Yan didn't remember this person, but this person made troubles everywhere under the banner of the Xiang clan, which made Xiang Yan notice him."
"Heh...the way people are famous is really varied."
"So, Xiang Ruan was originally a gangster-like character, but he didn't want to, so he got an errand." Su Yi's words made no secret of the irony. He turned his head and glanced at Xiang Ruan who had fainted on the ground. I feel a bit disgusted. With a simple wave of his hand, Xiang Ruan was sent to the prison of the gods.
"As far as Xiang Yan is concerned, Xiang Ruan's errand was assigned to solve a trouble, so the choice of this errand is particularly important. Since Xiang Ruan often bullies the people, he chose a deserted place for him, that is, this mountain forest. This mountain forest is not ordinary."
"Originally, Xiang Yan was thinking about dismissing things at will, but Xiang Ruan was not stupid, although he was confused. He knew that Xiang's family looked down on him and was too lazy to care about him, so he thought of a way."
"Oh? Judging from the current results, this person is still a little clever?" Gai Nie lowered his head and smiled, revealing something unclear.
"Speaking of this method, it has something to do with the wide-sleeved clothes we wear today." Su Yi seemed to have thought of something, the corners of his mouth smiled deeper, and there was a little more playfulness in his voice.
"This Xiang Ruan...hehe, the more a mindless person, the more he has to pretend to be quite talented. Xiang Ruan has a very bad reputation in other respects, and this caring sage alone can be praised by many people. "
"Uh..." Gai Nie was taken aback. Although Gai Nie didn't like to belittle people very much, he couldn't help but say a few words, "Just like Xiang Ruan, would he have a good reputation in this respect?"
"Senior brother, everyone has their own strengths, even if they are hollow, don't they still look long on the outside?" Su Yiqi was a lecturer today and talked a lot about Xiang Ruan.
"Outside people's evaluation, Xiang Ruan himself knows, he doesn't care about anything else, but he especially likes literati. Perhaps he can't be a gentleman himself, so he admires those elegant people. So on the street, he Anyone would be happy to bully one or two, but when they meet someone wearing a wide-sleeved Confucian shirt, not only will they not bully, but they will be very polite.
"It's also an interesting person."
"In fact, Xiang Ruan still has some abilities, but his temperament is too bad. When Xiang Yan was about to assign him a task, he bought a set of Confucian uniforms from somewhere, tidy up himself, and came to lobby for him."
"Wearing a Confucian costume to lobby for a military position?" Gai Nie was very surprised.
"Naturally not." Su Yi curled his lips. "Xiang Ruan wants to ask for a civilian job with his three-inch tongue and the temper that he has accumulated over many years of bullying. But Xiang Yan refused and couldn't bear to bury him too much. The martial arts talent gave him the task of guarding the forest."
"Such an important mountain forest, Xiang Yan dare to send it directly to him?"
"Huh, Xiang Yan is also an old fox."
