Hearing this, I was dumbfounded, and looked at my daughter-in-law in disbelief, and I was a little speechless.

Wan'er put her hand on her cheek, looked at me with a leisurely expression, and asked:

"You want to know how I know?"

I nodded dumbfounded.

"You've had a habit of talking nonsense when you're in a nightmare, and you don't even know that. ”

I was slightly stunned, it turned out that Wan'er heard it when I was talking in my sleep, as the so-called speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, I originally thought that I was about to forget about it, but I didn't expect that after so many years, those past may have become my obsession.

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but sigh a little boo.

Suddenly worried about whether he had said anything excessive when he was dreaming, he said with a nervous face:

"So, I, what did I say?"

Wan'er looked at me quietly for a moment, and then said slowly:

"That time you fell into a nightmare, and your mind was quite excited, muttering to yourself, asking 'Where are you?', 'Sue me, your name', Chen, have you been looking for someone?"

My body was stunned, and I felt warm and happy in my heart for Shangwan'er's concerned gaze, if my obsession was not solved earlier, it would also be a problem for Wan'er, so why not take this opportunity to tell the whole of that past?

I always felt that Wan'er could help me find the answer.

"Wan'er, didn't you ever ask me, why did you insist on the title of the gold list, and even risked your life to enter the court as an official?"

Wan'er bowed her head gently.

I smiled and said:

"One is to show my life's ambitions, and the other is to make a promise to the same person, the reason why I insist on the title of the gold list is to fulfill the promise made with that person back then!"

Wan'er's body was slightly stunned, and then asked:

"Who is that person?"

I was silent for a moment, the corners of my mouth curled slightly, and then I said:

"He was the first and most important friend I made when I first came to this bustling part of Kyoto. ”

After speaking, he scratched his cheeks a little embarrassedly, smiled bitterly, and said:

"Even though we're friends, I don't know his name yet, and I've only met him once, and I haven't had a chance to see him again......"

When I think about it, I can't help but feel emotional.

Wan'er was slightly curious and asked:

"So, he's your childhood friend?!How did you meet him?"

"In the country. ”

For some reason, after hearing this answer, the smile on the corner of Wan'er's mouth became stronger.

"That's good, now you have a wide range of friends, and you are exquisite, and you think it was the first clue when you came. ”

Hearing this, I only felt panic on my face, and when I thought of the stupid self in the past, I was a little eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

But in front of my daughter-in-law, how can I lie, unless I am impatient to live.

"Hey, I'm ashamed, I was quite wooden at the time, plus I was a new national eunuch, introverted, and I don't like to talk to people, so I really don't like to be treated very well. ”

Ah, not only is it not welcomed, but also being bullied and tricked so that I want to cry without tears, now I think about it, why was I so stupid at the time, I only knew how to forbear and retreat?

Wan'er looked at me with tenderness and pity in her eyes, and asked softly, saying:

"You're being bullied?"

I puffed out my cheeks and was a little restless, and I always felt that it was really embarrassing to expose my past troubles, but under Wan'er's gentle attack, I finally honestly admitted it.

"Well, I was bullied, so ah, what I told Xiaowan'er in the Hanlin Academy that day, but it's all true, Gao Chen, who seems to be born noble and is a champion talent, used to be a child with dull qualifications and weak woodenness!"

Wan'er heard the self-deprecation in my tone, but she didn't look at my sad look, and she was relieved for a long time, so she was a lot more relieved, and stretched out her hand between my eyebrows, and then expelled the uneasiness, only to hear her smile and say.

"That's why I said, people can't be disguised!"

When I heard this, I couldn't help laughing, Wan'er was teasing me.

In the past, the child with dull qualifications and weak temperament not only won the title of the gold list when he grew up, but also married His Royal Highness the most noble eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, how do you think this is the difference between the abyss!

And the reason why I have such earth-shaking changes can be said to be due to the little gentleman back then.

"At that time, I was really in trouble, I was often bullied in the country, there was nowhere to seek protection, and no one expected me in the family, so I also had the intention of giving up on myself, so I felt that nothing mattered, and I let them bully me every day, and my life was also miserable. ”

When I was nine years old, because of my father's plan to replace the early death of Brother Chen, I was sent back to the Gao family under the planning of my mother, and became the 'eldest son and grandson' of this family.

Although I have the name of 'eldest son and grandson', but it is also in vain, my uncle Gao Qin after the death of my father, he quickly took control of the affairs of the Gao family, and my appearance is to curb my uncle's complete control of the Gao family's pace, after all, several elders of the Gao family are trying their best to follow the patriarchal system, as long as the Gao family still has the 'eldest son and grandson', no one should think of overstepping the line and getting involved in what he does not change.

The family dispute of the Gao family also projected the dispute between the government and the government at that time, and the situation was also very complicated, so it can be seen that the dispute within the family has never escaped the shadow of the struggle for power between the DPRK and China.

It was in such a complex environment that I was sent to the Gao family and became a puppet-like being, and the elders were also caught in the whirlpool of power at that time and could not be distracted, and they were also laissez-faire to me, and they did not have any special expectations, just asked me to come out of the Guozi Prison and then enter the court to be a small official.

At that time, I encountered great changes one after another, and people became a little in a trance, and my temperament became very withdrawn, and I never spoke lightly, so I was very unlikable.

When I think about that past, my eyes unconsciously become sad.

Wan'er gently stretched out her hand to caress my face, and when she looked at each other, words of encouragement came into her ears, and with a commanding tone, she said:

"You have me now, so you can't show such a sad expression in the future, you know?"

I immediately smiled, nodded in agreement, and said with a smile:

"The words of the daughter-in-law, dare not obey the fate?!"

We can't help but look at each other and smile, and the intimacy between the ears and temples is already infinitely tender......

Gently embraced Wan'er into her arms, she just lay quietly in my arms, feeling the rare tranquility and beauty of this moment, caressing the plain hand on my heart, and the slender jade fingers seemed to be playing back and forth with my collar, and asked with interest:

"So, you met your first friend back then?"

I smiled and nodded, and said in a very grateful tone:

"Well, thanks to his 'three magic weapons', I am what I am now. ”

Wan'er asked with interest:

"Three magic weapons?"

"Well, a word, a line, and a promise made with me before leaving. ”

"Oh, what kind of sentence, what kind of word, and what kind of agreement?"

When it came to the last sentence of 'agreement', Wan'er's words were quite jealous of the little daughter's family, which made me feel happy in my heart, and I held her in my arms a little tighter.

I laughed and continued:

"He told me that you can not take the initiative to bully others, but you must not let others bully them. Then, he inscribed a line on my "Chinese" book: The black hair does not know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late. ”

Speaking of this, Wan'er remembered that when she was recuperating in the house, she picked up a copy of "Chinese" in the study room of this wronged family, and it was this sentence that was the first question, and suddenly realized that she was also lucky, and she was really destined to be entangled with this wronged family for the rest of her life!

Wan'er smiled softly in my arms, but I didn't know why she was laughing, but I just thought that if she was happy, I would be happy too.

After a pause, Wan'er continued to ask:

"And then, what about that agreement?"

"When he was leaving, I asked him his name, and he did not answer me directly, but agreed with me that we would meet again at the Qionglin night banquet, and he would naturally inform me when the time came. You also know that if you want to enter the Qionglin Night Banquet, you must participate in the imperial examination, and only the top three are eligible to enter the table. ”

Hearing my explanation, Wan'er nodded in a sudden realization, and then asked:

"In that case, you should be grateful to your first friend, and if you have the opportunity to meet him, how would you like to be grateful?"

After muttering for a while, I still said seriously, saying:

"Give him a punch back. ”

Wan'er asked in surprise:

"Why?"

As soon as I thought of the scene at that time, I couldn't help but complain, and hurriedly said:

"Daughter-in-law, don't you know, at that time, he beat me in one eye, and let me be ridiculed for more than half a month, I don't take revenge, I am a gentleman!"

"And it's not all because of ......"

When the words came to her lips, Wan'er suddenly couldn't speak anymore and looked at me in a daze.

I looked at Wan'er with some curiosity, asked rhetorically, and said:

"Because of what?"

Wan'er ignored me again, hid in my arms and didn't give up, muttering something else.

"It must be because you did something bad!"

"Me?"

I think about it, I really can't remember what bad things I did, I just know that the first time this guy met me, the gift was that punch in the face!
