As soon as Meng Zijun left, Ye Qingning asked in a low voice, "What did you just say to him?" ”

Ye Qinglan had already prepared in her heart, and responded with an unhurried smile: "It's nothing, I just asked about Shen Chang'an's side in Shandong." ”

Ye Qingning was not as easy to fool as Gu Xiyu, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do I have to listen to these things, why do you have to let me avoid them?" ”

"I'm worried that Cousin Meng will be suspicious." Ye Qinglan explained unhurriedly: "After all, you are a married woman, and it is obviously unreasonable to ask such a strange man about it." In case he became suspicious, it would not be good to show his mouth in front of his cousin. ”

…… That's just as well. Ye Qingning finally didn't ask this question again, and instead looked at Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan's heart was furious when she was seen, but her face was calm and calm: "Sixth sister, what are you looking at me like this?" ”

Ye Qingning snorted lightly, lowered his voice and said, "Look at the smile on your face, shouldn't you really be empathetic!" ”

…… Ye Qinglan was a little embarrassed: "It's so decent, how did you get to this." She was just a little embarrassed and didn't know how to solve the problem properly.

"When you saw Cui Yu and that Xue Yushu before, it wasn't what it is now." Ye Qingning said bluntly: "In my opinion, your attitude towards Cousin Meng is really a bit unusual. What can you be if you don't have a crush on him? ”

Ye Qinglan flatly denied: "It's really not, don't worry about it." ”

Ye Qingning's inquiring gaze swirled on her face, and although Ye Qinglan's heart was chaotic, she didn't show it at all. Still looking back with a calm smile.

Ye Qingning didn't see any flaws after watching it for a long time, so he had to let her go stupidly: "Forget it." If you don't admit it, I can't help you. I can warn you, though. In the future, I will have less contact with Cousin Meng. So as not to cause gossip, if it reaches Cousin Gu's ears, it will not be good. ”

Although they are all cousins, cousins are also far and near. Obviously, Gu Xinian's position in Ye Qingning's heart is irreplaceable. Even if that admiration is completely gone now, Ye Qingning is still very concerned about Gu Xinian's affairs.

Ye Qinglan responded with a smile. But she knew very well in her heart that she couldn't do it at all. Not to mention the unclear relationship between her and Meng Zijun, just because the two of them have the same background, it is enough for the two of them to let go of each other.

A man who survived wearing a mask. Suddenly, I met a real kind. How can you be willing to push each other away?

Sure enough, after this contact, Mencius Jun came to Songtao Temple significantly more often. Zheng Junyan was ignorant of Yiqiē, and only thought that Meng Zijun had a good impression of Ye Qinglan. In his opinion, this is also a good thing, and he basically has an attitude of being happy to see it happen.

But Ye Qingning's reaction was completely different. On the surface, he seems warm and polite, but he will never give the two of them a chance to be alone. Although Meng Zijun didn't know the twists and turns in Ye Qingning's heart, he was also vaguely aware of her rejection of himself.

Ye Qinglan couldn't cry or laugh even more, but she was helpless. Under Ye Qingning's careful guard, she and Meng Zijun never had the opportunity to speak alone.

But. It was also a comfort to be able to see each other from time to time, and occasionally secretly exchange a knowing look.

Ruomei still maintains the habit of sending a message back home once a day. For Meng Zijun, he has also mentioned it a few times.

Gu Xinian has been very busy lately. I leave early and return late every day, and sometimes I don't come back until midnight. But no matter how busy you are, you will never miss the news from Ruomei. Expand the note. When he saw the above two sentences, Gu Xinian's brows quietly twisted.

"Today, Miss followed Miss Six to see Zheng Gongzi riding a horse. Meng Gongzi is very good at horsemanship, and the young lady is in a good mood. ”

The equestrian surnamed Meng is good. What does it have to do with Ye Qinglan, why is she in a good mood?

There are also notes from the first two times. One reads: "Today's weather is fine, Meng Gongzi invited the two young ladies to visit the garden together." Another one reads: "The young lady has been in a very good mood lately, and she is more kind to her subordinates than before." ”

Although he didn't mention the name surnamed Meng, Gu Xinian was very sensitive to it. Ye Qinglan's recent good mood is definitely related to this Meng Zijun who popped up inexplicably.

This girl is really attractive. finally solved Cui Yu and Xue Yushu, and there was a fierce eye on Ye Yuanzhou, and now another admirer came out......

At this time, Gu Xinian only felt uncomfortable, but he didn't put Mencius in his eyes. I didn't expect that this young man from Shandong would become his most powerful rival!

Recently, there have been turbulent waves in the court, and the two factions are at a critical juncture of competition. As the backbone of the prince's faction, Gu Xinian really didn't have much time to think about other things. Therefore, although the news brought by these notes made him not very happy, he quickly put it aside.

Shandong's crackdown on bandits has been reported frequently, and the saint is happy, and he has summoned Shen Changan to return to the dynasty to prepare for the reward.

Such a result was expected by Gu Xinian. As the so-called tiger father has no dog son, Shen Ming can become the first military general of this dynasty, and it is by no means a waste of fame. Although Shen Changan is young, he really has a bit of Shen Ming's demeanor. The army is strictly ordered and prohibited, and the army is strong and strong, so it is natural to deal with some bandits who are not in the climate.

Of course, for various reasons, the follow-up link he had planned had been suspended a long time ago. Therefore, Shen Changan was able to return to the capital within a year.

After Shen Changan returned to the capital, he first returned to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to settle down, and then waited for the emperor to summon him. With the dream of asking the emperor to give him a marriage, he thought about his sweetheart even more, and he couldn't wait to rush to the Dingguo Mansion immediately. Fortunately, there was finally a remnant of sanity, and this impulse was suppressed.

It's not that I'm afraid of anything else, it's mainly that the future eldest brother is too difficult......

Shen Ming is strict by nature, and believes in filial piety under the stick. Even if he was proud of his son in his heart, he didn't have a smile on his face, but instead called Shen Changan in front of him and reprimanded: "...... It took you so long to exterminate the bandits in Shandong, and you were embarrassed to be complacent. When you get to the Holy One, kneel down for me first and ask for my sin! ”

Shen Changan was splashed with such a big basin of cold water, and he was not happy, so he retorted without thinking: "Dad, those bandits are running around and occupying a favorable location, even if I am powerful, I have to chase someone before I can do it!" My brothers suffered a lot this time, and they were all wounded and wounded, including myself, twice. In front of the saints, I still expect to do merit for them, why should I ask for sin! ”

Even though he was distressed that his son was injured, General Shen's face did not show at all, and he definitely didn't even move his eyebrows, and continued to reprimand with a calm face: "Ignorance! Reckless! I don't know how to think about it with my brain, your merits are there, even if you don't say it, the Holy One knows it, and there will never be a lack of your reward. Because of this, it is all the more important to show the humility of being a courtier. In this way, the Holy One can appreciate you even more. Maybe there will be more rewards. ”

Otherwise, how can it be said that General Shen is the number one person among the generals, and with this attitude of figuring out the holy will and behaving with his tail between his legs, how can the saint not be serious?

Shen Changan is not a stupid person, he understands this truth as soon as he hears it, but his straightforward personality dictates it, and he is not willing to do it. But he also said it with confidence: "As a military general, what I want is to protect my family and defend the country, and let those civil officials do these twists and turns." I can't do it! ”

Shen Ming was the most impatient for him to talk back, and immediately glared at him, and his speech was not as elegant as before: "Lao Tzu is for your good, if you don't listen, you have to listen!" ”

If it were in the past, the father and son would probably have a big quarrel again. But today's Shen Changan was a little abnormal, and after thinking about it, he grinned: "What my father taught me is that I know what to do." ”

…… Shen Ming looked at Shen Changan suspiciously, and muttered, "Your brain is not injured!" ”

Shen Changan rolled his eyes: "I've only suffered two minor injuries, and I've been healed a long time ago." The head is safe and sound, he has never been injured, Dad, you are doing well, don't curse your own son. My son, I haven't gotten married yet, and I haven't spread out for the old Shen family! ”

Shen Ming couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, so he naturally kicked it over. Shen Changan had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment, and he didn't move, so Ren Shen Ming kicked him firmly.

After Shen Ming kicked it, he immediately said: "I have already taken care of the military department for you, and this time with the credit of suppressing the bandits, I just moved my position." The secretary of the military department will play a fold and ask you to be the head of the military department. This is a serious official position from the fourth grade, you must show yourself well in front of the saint, don't mess up. ”

Shen Changan was not very interested in being promoted: "Dad, don't worry about me, I don't want to do what the head of the military department is, I have already thought about what reward I want." ”

Shen Ming was shocked and angry: "You bastard, you don't want to be a good head of the military department, what are you going to do, the squire of the military department or the secretary of the military department?" Just rely on your qualifications, don't stay up for ten years and a half, don't even think about it......"

Seeing that his father was really about to lose his temper, Shen Changan immediately reassured: "Dad, don't think crookedly, I don't dislike the small official position." I think of something else......" There was a rare hint of redness on his dark face, and then he swallowed for a long time before he said his intention: "I want to ask the emperor to marry me." ”

General Shen was stunned for a long time before he reacted: "Do you really want to ask the emperor for marriage?" ”

Shen Changan nodded happily, his eyes flashing with the shyness and joy of a girl to be married...... No, it's a young man with a budding spring heart.

However, such an expression is really not very compatible with such a masculine man's face!

General Shen frowned: "Aren't you still thinking about Miss Gu from the Dingguo Mansion!" ”

Of course. Shen Changan nodded again and again, but before he could say anything, he heard Shen Ming say in a deep voice: "No!" (To be continued......)
