Although several people meet in Pingshui, it is easier for people who have a common hobby to become friends, and their common hobby is to eat.

After the last meal, Shu Jin also sent someone to give Bao Sinian a pastry made by her, and the taste made Bao Sinian remember it vividly, so this time even if it was an abrupt Bao Sinian, he was still very welcome. Bose was a rather casual person, and he didn't even ask a few people how they knew he was here, so he invited a few people into the table.

During the banquet, several people ate and drank, and Shu Jin asked about the situation of the Guozijian exam by the way, originally Chai Yanfeng was invited by him to this meal, but he was stopped by Bao Sinian, and the account was still recorded in Bao Sinian's name.

After the meal, everyone made an appointment to reunite in the future, broke up in front of the restaurant, and left separately.

On the way back to the palace, Ah Wu, who had never said much, suddenly opened his mouth and asked Shu Jindao:

"Master, what is the relationship between that person and Bao Guodong?"

"Bao Sinian is Bao Guodong's eldest son, what's the matter?" Shu Jin understands Ah Wu as a person, and he will ask that there must be something.

"I'm not sure, but if it's really what I thought, maybe I know where I saw the jade plaque of the shopkeeper." Ah Wu said.

Originally, Chai Yanfeng was just listening to their conversation and didn't make a sound, but when he heard Ah Wu's words, Chai Yanfeng was stunned for a moment, and then sat up straight and asked:

"Do you remember? Who does the jade plate belong to? ”

Chai Yanfeng actually didn't attach much importance to finding out his life experience, and he didn't have much hope, but when he suddenly found out that there were clues. It's also somewhat inevitable to look forward to it.

"I thought about it. The jade plaque you saw at the beginning was not the one you had in your hand. It's just that it seems that the color, shape and carved pattern are very similar, so I'm not sure if it's related to the shopkeeper's life experience. ”

"It's okay, you can talk about it when we go back to the palace." Chai Yanfeng said. At this time, he calmed down. No more eagerness than just now.

Carefully recall the news about Bo Sinian that I once found: born in a meritorious family, his father was a member of the dynasty, in charge of the Praetorian Guard of the entire imperial city, and his second uncle was also a big official; Even if the status of the Bao clan is high enough, they still have in-laws with higher status, the Protector Mansion!

And coincidentally, Bao Guodong Bao Guoliang is the only son of their sister. Lost just many years ago.

"Jiang family, Protector Mansion?"

Shu Jin also thought of it, and couldn't help muttering. As she spoke, she looked at Chai Yanfeng.

Will it? Could it be that he was the lost grandson of the Lord Protector?

One is a cripple who is not good at walking in a small village, and the other is the eldest grandson of the Protector's Mansion, this identity contrast is a bit big!

After returning to the palace, Shu Jin asked Ah Wu to tell him what he knew in detail.

"It was still war. I met Bao Guodong in the barracks. I also accidentally saw him have a similar jade plate......"

After many years, Ah Wu almost forgot about it. The last time Shu Jin and the others went to Xingyuan, Ah Wu didn't follow, so he hadn't seen Bao Sinian before this day. This time, he stood aside and watched Shu Jin, Chai Yanfeng, and Bao Sinian drinking, and suddenly felt that when Bao Sinian and Chai Yanfeng were talking and laughing, they were a little similar!

At this time, Shang Qiang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke:

"I don't think I think it, after Ah Wu said it, I also think that the shopkeeper is really a little similar to Bo Sinian."

In fact, he is not the only one who thinks so. Shu Jin also feels the same way.

"County Lord, you're back! The prince said that please go to him as soon as you come back. The crowd was talking. Erjia suddenly came, stood outside the door and said.

As soon as Shu Jin heard that King Yong had something to look for, he didn't delay any longer and set off to see King Yong. However, she still instructed Ge Cunzhong to immediately investigate the details of the disappearance of the eldest grandson of the Jiang family.

King Yong called Shu Jin over, mainly to tell her about taking them into the palace tomorrow to thank her, and by the way, he asked if Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng had remembered the etiquette in the palace.

The two naturally claimed that there was no problem, so the matter of entering the palace on the second day was finalized.

For Shu Jin, even if she was going to see the emperor, she didn't have anything to be nervous about, so she still had to do what she should do for the rest of the day: cook for Yonglao, deal with the information brought back by Ge Cunzhong, go out and visit the shops on the bustling streets of Changdu, and finally rest as usual at night and have a good night's sleep.

Shu Jin had already been to the palace with the imperial merchants last time, but that time when she entered the palace, it was only bright, and after waiting for a long time, a lot of things happened, and in the end, she didn't even "meet" the emperor and left the palace.

But it was different to follow King Yong to the palace, a few people had breakfast comfortably in King Yong's mansion, and then waited for the end of the morning dynasty to go out. From the carriage of King Yong's Mansion to the palace gate, there were people to guide the way, and there was a soft sedan chair sent by the emperor to walk, Qi Fenggu took Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng, and the three of them went to the Qinzheng Hall where the emperor worked unimpeded.

It was still the same place last time, but this time Shu Jin had been sitting in a sedan chair until the door, and as soon as the soft sedan chair arrived, someone went in to report, and then soon a big eunuch came out to lead the three of them into the hall.

Entering the Qinzheng Palace, King Yong greeted the emperor, he has seniority and privileges, and he does not have to salute the emperor, Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng saluted the emperor meticulously. The emperor did not feel embarrassed in the slightest, and after the two had saluted, he let them get up.

Perhaps because of the relationship between King Yong, when the emperor talked to Shujin Chai Yanfeng, he was also very kind, and asked some questions, mainly after expressing concern and condolences, he looked at Chai Yanfeng, looked at his appearance and attire, and asked:

"Jun Ma has studied martial arts? Ever wanted to serve in the military? ”

This is not a question, but a reward. It is to give the official to Chai Yanfeng.

In fact, this is also expected by the two. Shu Jin was made the county lord, and according to the usual practice, Chai Yanfeng was probably given an official position that sounded good and had no real power, like a captain, a guard lieutenant, and so on. However, for Chai Yanfeng, this is not what he wants.

If he takes over this sealed official at this time, I'm afraid he will never have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in his life. Even if he can go to the battlefield, he can only be a furnishing official like the prison army. Chai Yanfeng actually didn't want such an official position.

However, if he refused at this time, he was afraid that he would make the emperor unhappy and make Shu Jin embarrassed at that time. For a while, Chai Yanfeng was also a little entangled.

"Your Majesty, Xiaguan has indeed learned some boxing and kicking, and has been preparing to participate in this autumn's martial arts." Chai Yanfeng finally replied respectfully.

This was not a refusal, but it also told the emperor that he was not interested in those official positions that sounded good but had no real power, and that he preferred to earn a position by his own ability. (To be continued......)
